Aurelien Tchouameni
Chelsea are said to be unsure about whether they definitely want to bring in another midfielder this summer and will likely wait till the eleventh hour to make up their mind.
But they may prefer to agree a deal for Aurelien Tchouameni instead of Saul if they go down that route.
At 21-years-old, Tchouameni is a lot younger than Saul and could also be available for a cut-price if Monaco don’t qualify for the group stages of the Champions League.
The Ligue 1 side lost the first leg of their qualifier against Shakhtar Donetsk and could be willing to allow Tchouameni to exit if they don’t overturn their deficit.
Chelsea have apparently jumped above Manchester United in the race for the midfielder but no serious offer has come forward from the Blues as of yet.
If Chelsea are to sign Tchouameni, it appears it will come very late in the day.
