Chelsea are to revisit talks with Bayern Munich over a potential deal for forward Mathys Tel.
The Frenchman had told Chelsea he wanted to stay in Germany following their enquiry early in the window but he has failed to figure in the last three games.
The Stamford Bridge club made overtures regarding a move for France Under 21 striker last summer and have followed up their interest this month.
Chelsea will explore whether Tel wants to change his mind. Bayern hold an interest in Chelsea’s £70m-rated forward Christopher Nkunku, who also has tentative interest from Manchester United.
