Chelsea are reportedly interested in midfield pair Julian Draxler and Idrissa Gueye from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
According to Le10 Sport, the Blues are looking at two PSG stars ahead of the January transfer window.
It is understood that Draxler is someone being looked at by Frank Lampard’s side.
The report also details that Idrissa Gueye is being monitored, but it seems unlikely that he will exit in January as he only joined from Everton in the summer.
PSG, who have a last-16 Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund, are a superior force domestically and are looking to dominate on the European stage too.
They have a squad staked with top-class players and that means competition for places is tough.
Draxler is a versatile midfielder that has been transformed from a wide role earlier in his career into a more central position.
The 26-year-old is a left-footed German that previously won the World Cup and is a great dribbler.
He’s only played eight games across all competitions this season, but did have a foot injury that saw him sidelined in the early months of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Gueye is more a physical defensive midfielder that Chelsea fans will know from his stint with Everton.
The 30-year-old has settled fairly well with Ligue 1 outfit PSG since joining and it would be a major surprise for him to be on the move.
Chelsea don’t need to prioritise the midfield area in the January window, as it should be the defensive or offensive areas they improve.
