Chelsea have identified Lille attacker Jonathan Ikone as an alternative for Kai Havertz, should a deal collapse.

The Blues are set to sign the Germany international from Bayer Leverkusen but a deal is being held up by the German side’s involvement in the Europa League.

While Chelsea remain confident of a deal, Le 10 Sport suggests they have a back-up plan if, for whatever reason, a move for Havertz collapses.

The reports suggest that Ikone is that back-up, with the forward’s role at Lille uncertain ahead of the planned signings of Jonathan David and Alfredo Morelos.
