Chelsea are interested in bringing Lorient's Eli Junior Kroupi and Manchester City's prospect Nico O'Reilly to the Stamford Bridge on the last day of the winter transfer window.
The Blues have emerged as rivals to Bournemouth after they made an enquiry in recent weeks - as it is understood that West Ham's bid on buying the French talent has fallen through.
Previously, the Hammers made an offer worth up to £30million for the League 2 player, while Bournemouth have had a more advanced position due to their proposal to leave the player on loan at his club for the rest of the season.
