Aurelien Tchouameni is attracting admirers from across Europe's top-flights but Chelsea are reportedly in pole position to sign the Monaco midfielder.
Tchouameni has been key for the Ligue 1 side, despite their rocky start to the season that sees them sit mid-table.
The youngster has featured in all but one of Monaco's league games this term and his rise has been rewarded with a call-up to the France squad.
The 21-year-old has established himself as a regular for the defending world champions under the guidance of Didier Deschamps.
