Chelsea could target one of Arsenal’s players in the summer transfer window. They were linked with him last summer.
The Blues are preparing for a Champions League round of 16 tie against PSG, hoping to mount a comeback after they lost 5-2 in the opening leg of the tie at the Parc de Princes.
Liam Rosenior will hope for a better performance than his side produced at the weekend, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United thanks to a goal from Anthony Gordon.
Heading into the summer, Chelsea will back Rosenior in the transfer market in order to help build a title-winning side; they could re-ignite their interest in an Arsenal star.

Chelsea were linked to signing Arsenal winger Ethan Nwaneri in the summer transfer window, but they opted against making a move as the Gunners had made it clear that he wasn’t for sale, despite his recent lack of game time.
Nwaneri ended up leaving on loan to join French side Marseille, and so Chelsea were left frustrated by the lack of negoatiations available for the 18-year-old.
However, according to fresh reports included in this GoonerNews article, Nwaneri could leave Arsenal in the summer amid his struggles to get regular game time. It is understood that Arsenal are more open to selling Nwaneri, whether that be to Marseille, or someone else.
Chelsea will be on alert because of this recent update, as it could give them the chance to reignite their interest in Nwaneri ahead of the summer transfer window. He has an estimated market value of just £35m, but due to his potential, Arsenal would likely demand a much higher transfer fee, especially selling to a rival like the Blues.
Since joining Marseille, Nwaneri has impressed, scoring one goal and one assist in six matches for the French side.
