Chelsea remain interested in Dynamo Moscow winger Arsen Zakharyan.
Zakharyan was blocked from a summer move to London due to financial sanctions on Russia.
The London Evening Standard says Chelsea aim to close the deal in the summer transfer window, but the negotiations remain complicated .
There have been claims of Zakharyan changing his sports citizenship to Armenian, but the Football Federation of Armenia have denied this information.
Chelsea and Dynamo agreed a €15m fee for the winger over the summer.
