Chelsea are working to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Marcus Thuram.
The Frenchman, whose contract is set to expire with the Bundesliga side in the summer of 2023, is in advanced talks with a move to west London.
Other London clubs have also shown interest, but the Blues are the frontrunners.
Thuram is said to have had a change of mind in the last 24 hours, whose preference was to stay at Gladbach until the summer and leave as a free agent, but Chelsea are understood to have submitted a tempting offer.
