Chelsea ponder swap bid for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot

Chelsea are being linked with Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Calciomercato.com says United pulled out of a deal for the 27-year-old this summer due to his sky-high wage demands.

But Rabiot's reported contract demands have reportedly not put off new Chelsea boss Graham Potter.

The west Londoners are weighing up bringing the former Paris Saint-Germain man to Stamford Bridge in January.

And it's claimed they could be rivalled for the France international's signature by their Premier League rivals Newcastle.

Potter is said to be willing to offer winger Hakim Ziyech to Juve in order to land his man.

The Old Lady could very well accept the player-plus-cash deal as they're reportedly already looking for a successor for Angel di Maria.
