Red Star striker Richmond Boakye would love to join Chelsea after being linked with a move in the January transfer window.

The Blues are reported to have been scouting the Ghana international in recent weeks and watched Boakye in Thursday's Europa League 0-0 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has just two senior strikers in his squad in Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi, and Boakye, who can also play on both wings, would give him another attacking option.

The 24-year-old has already scored 14 goals in 22 games in all competitions for Red Star this season, form which has brought him to the attention of Chelsea.
