Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly keen to bring Paris Saint-Germain teenager Kays Ruiz-Atil to Stamford Bridge this summer.
The 18-year-old was handed his PSG debut by Tuchel earlier this season but has not been in the plans of Mauricio Pochettino since the change of management at the French club.
Ruiz-Atil's current deal with the French champions is due to expire at the end of June, and it is understood that talks with the club over an extension have stalled.
According to Foot Mercato, Chelsea are long-term admirers of the teenager, but the English outfit's interest has intensified since Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as head coach.
Ruiz-Atil, who has been demoted to the PSG Under-19s squad, is currently free to discuss terms with foreign clubs with the view to a move this summer.
The midfielder spent six years with Barcelona between 2009 and 2015 before moving to the nine-time Ligue 1 champions, and he has featured on seven occasions for the first team this term.
