A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Paris St-Germain are interested in signing John Mikel Obi from Chelsea, according to reports in the midfielder’s native Nigeria.

PSG’s Blaise Matuidi was recently linked with a potential move to Stamford Bridge as a replacement for Mikel, whose first-
team chances have been limited.

Now it is being claimed that Mikel could move to the French club if they decide to part with Matuidi.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to sign highly-rated Dutch youngster Tahith Chong, the Daily Star say.

Chong, a 15-year-old winger, is on Feyenoord’s books and is said to be regarded as one of the Netherlands’ brightest prospects.

According to Dutch media reports, he can leave Feyenoord when he turns 16 in December and a number of clubs have shown an interest.

Manchester United have been linked with him since sending a scout to a youth tournament he was playing in.

Now it is being reported that Chelsea are keen to pip United to the signing of Chong, who has also been linked with Real Madrid .
