Chelsea have launched a shock bid to land Bournemouth talisman Antoine Semenyo.
The Blues are emerging as late contenders for the winger, available for £65million in the January transfer window, and are attempting to blow competition out of the water.
Daily Mail Sport understands that Chelsea came to the table in an audacious swoop on Monday evening after the 25-year-old had spent a day off weighing up his options.
Manchester United and Manchester City are both keen on landing Semenyo when the market opens next week.
