Chelsea are reportedly lining up a January move for Arsenal and Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette.
The defending Premier League champions have struggled during their opening six league games this term, collecting just seven points so far, meaning the club are interested in the Lyon hitman’s services.
The 24-year-old, who has eight international caps for France, was Ligue 1’s top goalscorer last season after netting 27 league goals in just 33 appearances.
The Blues recruited fellow forwards Radamel Falcao and Pedro over the summer, but manager Jose Mourinho is seemingly willing to bolster his attacking options even further in the New Year in a bid to inspire his team to return to their winning ways of last season.
