The Blues currently sit in 11th place in the Premier League table and look set to miss out on qualifying for Europe, unless they win the FA Cup.

Pressure is mounting on manager Mauricio Pochettino as a result. Some members of the Chelsea hierarchy even want to see the Argentine sacked and replaced ahead of next season.

The London club have spent huge sums of money on new players over the past few windows, and a report from Spain, as cited by CaughtOffside, has claimed that they are considering a move for Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni.

It is unclear whether the president of the Spanish club Florentino Perez will consider selling the French midfielder, whose form has been inconsistent this season.

Madrid signed him for around €80m (£68.5m) in 2022 and it would require an even bigger fee to lure him away from the Bernabeu.
