Chelsea are one of the clubs interested in signing Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
It comes with continuing questions about how much faith the club are willing to put in either Édouard Mendy or Kepa Arrizabalaga after what has been a mediocre season so far.
However, they face intense competition for the 22 year old, with Bayern Munich and Newcastle among the other clubs tracking the Frenchman.
Bayern are looking for a replacement for Manuel Neuer, who is out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg in a skiing accident.
Meslier is under contract at Elland Road until 2026, but if the right bid comes in for him, the South Yorkshire club may find it hard to turn down.
