Chelsea have been tipped to use Tuesday night's friendly against Lyon at Stamford Bridge as an opportunity to conduct talks with the French club over a possible late swoop for highly rated forward and World Cup winner Nabil Fekir.
Fekir was on the verge of joining Liverpool earlier this summer until concerns over a medical saw the deal scrapped. And with the Reds seemingly not looking to resurrect their approach, sudden Chelsea interest in the player emerged just this week.
According to the Daily Express, Chelsea are now eyeing a negotiating opportunity when Lyon are in town and will look to 'open talks' with officials from the Ligue 1 side just two days before the summer transfer window closes for Premier League clubs.
