Olympique Marseille midfielder Florian Thauvin is being linked with a return to England.
France Football says Chelsea have been watching former Newcastle winger Thauvin this season and could make a move for him.
Chelsea scouts have been tracking the Marseille man, while Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid have also been watching him.
Thauvin, after flopping on Tyneside, has revived his career back at OM.
Chelsea see Thauvin as a player to eventually replace Pedro or Willian, who are both the wrong side of 30.
