Chelsea are reportedly exploring a deal for Crystal Palace defence Maxence Lacroix during the summer transfer window.
The Blues are expected to bolster their central defensive department this summer with the prospect of multiple exits.
Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile are poised to be offloaded, while they are doubts over the future of Wesley Fofana.
Amidst this, Teamtalk claim that the Blues are one of the clubs monitoring Lacroix, who has been a key player for Palace.
The Frenchman recently earned his maiden cap with his national side and he is widely expected to pursue a bigger challenge.
Palace are aware of the increasing interest in the experienced centre-back and they are likely to hold out for a premium fee.
It could take at least £40 million to persuade the Eagles to part ways with the Frenchman at the end of the ongoing season.
Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring him at the current point, while RB Leipzig could likewise enter the race for his services.
