An exclusive report has claimed that Chelsea have recently sent scouts to watch a 6ft 4in French centre back play live.
But Chelsea are not alone with their interest in the defender, with many other clubs named in the exclusive report out over the weekend.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea in for Ivory Coast international winger!
Chelsea often get linked to many names and they will of course be scouting many players from around the world. But this guy looks like he is attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs around, so it might be one to keep a close eye on for sure.

Oumar Solet in action
The exclusive report goes on to say that Chelsea and Crystal Palace have watched him live, while Manchester United and West Ham are tracking him as a long-term target. In Italy, Inter, AC Milan and Roma have delivered positive reports, highlighting his reliability in transition and dominance in the air.
He does stand at 6ft 4in tall so he should be good in the air really, and that is something that Chelsea could certainly do with adding into their squad – more physicality and dominance on and off the ground.
It could be an interesting situation to watch, with the 25-year-old former France U20 international perhaps now looking to make his big career move.
Reinforcements needed
Chelsea certainly need to bring in a better centre back and upgrade what they have at the moment. It’s an area I see them as being fairly weak in right now and they need some more dominance and leadership back there.
