Chelsea have reportedly enquired about signing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, as they plan to rival other top clubs in sealing the deal in January.
Other clubs interested in Semenyo include Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
The 25-year-old has a £65m release clause in his contract, which becomes active on January 1.
The release clause will not be active for the entirety of the transfer window, protecting Bournemouth from a late sale. The clause will only be active until the second week of January, and if Semenyo stays, his release clause will drop in the summer.
The Blues are examining the terms of a potential deal and are one of several interested clubs but Liverpool remain interested and are currently considering their options in the wake of Alexander Isak’s injury.
Semenyo, 25, has scored eight Premier League goals this season, including in Bournemouth’s last two games.
