are reportedly preparing to make a move for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
The Premier League champions are in the market for a new striker with Diego Costa set to leave the club this summer.
They had been keen on a deal for Romelu Lukaku but Blues chiefs are understood to be reluctant to meet Everton's £100m asking price.
Now they have turned their attention to Lewandowski, who is unhappy at Bayern.
The Polish hitman recently accused teammates of not doing enough to help him finish the season as Bundesliga's leading goalscorer.
