Chelsea have identified Marcus Thuram and Noni Madueke as two leading transfer targets, according to reports.
Thuram is out of contract at Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of the campaign and looks set to seek pastures new at some point this year.
Chelsea are one of several clubs that have been linked with a move for the France international, who is also attracting the interest of Manchester United.

According to The Times, Chelsea could even attempt to sign the forward for a cut-price fee this month.
Thuram is valued at £28.3m by Transfermarkt but could be available for even less than that in the next few weeks.
The report adds that Chelsea are also weighing up a swoop for Madueke, who is enjoying an excellent season for PSV.
The England Under-21 international, who spent time on the books of Crystal Palace and Tottenham as a youngster, joined the Dutch club in 2018.
