Olympique Marseille midfielder Giannelli Imbula is being watched by Chelsea.
The Mirror says Chelsea scouts have again watched Imbula.
The Belgium-born star, 22, was bought for £6million from French rivals Guingamp last year and is now rated at £25m by the Ligue 1 top dogs.
Despite growing up in Belgium, Imbula has opted to represent France at international level, and has made five appearances for the under-21s.
