Aurelien Tchouameni – £34.5m
Declan Rice would clearly be Chelsea’s priority for the central midfield role, but with the cost of the transfer likely to be above £100m, the West Ham vice-captain seems like an unrealistic signing, for this summer at least.
Tchouameni has just come off the back of an excellent season with Monaco, and Blues scouts have been tracking his progress for well over a year so a bid in the coming weeks should not be ruled out.
