Chelsea scouts will check on Ghana international striker Richmond Boakye during next week's Europa League tie between Red Star Belgrade and Arsenal.
The 24-year-old Boakye has scored three league goals this season and a spectacular winner for the Serbian side in their 1-0 win over Cologne in the Europa League last month.
Boakye is known to Antonio Conte after he had a brief spell at Juventus but failed to convince coaching staff he was worthy of a starting place.
After a series of loans he has found his scoring touch with Red Star, and that has alerted clubs looking to bolster attacking options in January.
