Rennes defender Joris Gnagnon is expected to leave his club to move to the English Premier League, Calciomercato.it has reported on Tuesday.
According to the article, Internazionale Tottenham Hotspur, Porto, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach are also keeping an eye on the youngster.
But recent reports in Italy have claimed that the 20-year-old would be delighted to make a move to Stamford Bridge to join Chelsea.
Spanish giants Sevilla have already made an offer of £11million to secure the services of the strong defender with Tottenham Hotspur also making an official approach.
