Chelsea have stepped up talks over a possible deal for Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram.
The 25-year-old is out of contract in the summer and Chelsea are exploring a deal now after contacting his entourage earlier in the window.
Thuram has interest from a number of clubs but had been considering seeing out the season to leave as a free agent.
Chelsea have also shown an interest in Thuram's brother, Nice midfielder Khephren, 21, as an alternative option to Benfica's Enzo Fernandez.
Newcastle have also been monitoring Kephren while both clubs also like Kouadio Kone at Gladbach.
Chelsea, who officially completed the signing of Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama yesterday, have also checked on Red Bull Leipzig winger Dani Olmo in case talks over Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk come to nothing.
Chelsea want the Ukraine flyer but believe his preference is to join Arsenal.
The Gunners are reluctant to pay an inflated fee, however, after offering a deal up to £62m including add-ons.
They are also trying to lower the loan fee asked by Atletico Madrid for forward Joao Felix.

It's the Technical Director from Brighton who's authorizing the signing of those players so that the board gonna agreed with his work but zero work done. You have good materials but you can't make good use of it

Chelsea just want to sign wanted and unwanted potential players then give them long term contract without calculating the risks. My question is does the head coach (Potter) authorize all these signings or they owners are just signing players to impress Chelsea fans? Most of these of potential players might not live up to the expectation of big club like Chelsea then their contract and salary will be the stumbling block of future sale. Well let me mind my business as a fan

They are interested in all the players that United wants😀. Do we have the same scouting group or is it just a agenda
