Chelsea are keen on a move for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, according to the Mirror.
The 31-year-old has notched seven goals and three assists in his 18 La Liga appearances so far this season, and some bookies have suspended betting on the striker’s move to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are hoping to replace Alvaro Morata, who still looks short of confidence despite scoring twice against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, and the Spaniard has been linked with a move to Sevilla.
Chelsea had earlier been linked with Paris Saint Germain’s Edinson Cavani as coach Maurizio Sarri aims to add more power to his striking force that has fallen short of goals in the last couple of matches.
Chelsea Fans have also asked the Chelsea board to cut short Mitchy Batshuayi’s loan at Valencia so that he can return to Stamford Bridge and help take charge of the striking department.
