Chelsea are showing interest in Oumar Niasse according to reports.

Russian broadcaster Match TV suggests that the Blues are keen on the Lokomotiv Moscow forward and are preparing a January offer for his services.

25-year-old Senegal international Niasse has scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions for Lokomotiv this season which has attracted the attention of Chelsea caretaker boss Guus Hiddink.

It is believed Niasse could be available for as little as £3.7million but Everton and Aston Villa's interest is expected to drive that price up.
