Chelsea are in talks to sign Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens and have offered the winger a seven-year contract.
The 20-year-old is understood to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge amid ongoing talks over personal terms, though a fee has yet to be agreed between the two clubs.
The Blues are ready to pay £30m but Dortmund are keen to hold out for more than £40m.
Chelsea are not in a rush to force through any deal for England Under-21 international with other targets on the market, as they seek a right-footed left winger after signing striker Liam Delap from Ipswich.
