Chelsea are showing an interest in Schalke left-back Sead Kolašinac.
The 23-year-old Bosnia & Herzegovina international is one of a number of players Chelsea have been considering as a possible pre-deadline signing.
Juventus were keen to sign Kolašinac, whose contract expires at the end of the season, but that move appears to have stalled.
Schalke do not want to sell the player but Chelsea believe a deal could be done ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
