According to a report from TMW (translated by Sportwitness), Chelsea are keen on the player as well.
Both clubs want to sign the midfielder at the end of this season and they recently sent scouts to watch the player in action as well.
Diawara is highly rated in Italy and he has a big future ahead of him. It is hardly surprising to see the big clubs taking an interest in him.
Both London clubs could use a powerful midfielder like the Guinean and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
