There are a number of targets being linked, and the latest one we have been hearing about is Ismael Bennacer, who was at Arsenal from 2015 to 2017 without making a single competitive appearance.

He is now at AC Milan, and his contract there runs out in 2024. So Chelsea are sensing an opportunity.

According to Si & Dan Talk Chelsea, The Blues are stepping up their Ismael Bennacer interest, with meeting scheduled with his agent to discuss it.

The meeting is scheduled for January, suggesting that Chelsea are exploring this move for then. As per the report, Milan are in a tough place because Bennacer, Leao, and several other big players want big pay rises.
