Chelsea are exploring a deal for Brighton striker Joao Pedro who will be allowed to leave this summer.
The 23-year old missed Brighton's game against Liverpool on Monday after a training ground altercation with teammate Jan Paul Van Hecke.
Chelsea are among a number of teams interested but it is understood they held a meeting on Tuesday regarding the Brazilian who cost £30million from Watford in 2023.
Chelsea would be willing to offer around £50million with the possibility of other players being offered in the deal, potentially even on loan.
