Chelsea are ready to splash £24m on Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam during the January transfer window.
The left-back has impressed in Italy since heading there in 2014 from Saint-Etienne and several clubs have been linked with him.
Arsenal were reportedly looking at the 25-year-old in the summer, while Paris Saint-Germain are keen on him too.
However, according to Le Buteur, it is now Chelsea who are working on a January swoop for Ghoulam.
Blues boss Antonio Conte is said to be a big fan of the Algerian and believes he would fit into his 3-4-3 system.
