Chelsea are planning to target Aurelien Tchouameni next summer, according to The Express via The Athletic. The Blues have been keeping a close eye on the French midfielder, who is among the hottest properties in European football at the moment.

Tchouameni was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but the Premier League giants opted to move for Saul Niguez instead.

Chelsea believe the Monaco starlet still needs to develop to reach his true potential. The Blues are confident Tchouameni will be ready for the Premier League in a year when he is expected to reach world-class heights.

As such, the London side are preparing to reignite their interest in the Frenchman next summer.

Tchouameni has enjoyed a steady rise since leaving Bordeaux for Monaco last January. The Frenchman was one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1 last season and made his international debut for Les Bleus on Wednesday against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Chelsea believe the player could become a mainstay in their midfield but could face competition for his signature from Manchester United.
