The Blues will also look to follow up their interest in Bayer Leverkusen starlet Julian Brandt.
Both the Blues and Liverpool have been keeping watch on his development and could make a quick move for his signature in order to beat the Reds to his services.
Brandt, who scored in Leverkusen’s 4-2 win over Hertha Berlin last month, has made two appearances for his club this season.
He could cost the club as little as just £4.4m, though the German giants will hope to drive up that price should they be approached.
