Chelsea are set for another remarkable hijack as they are reportedly poised to beat Arsenal and Atletico Madrid to Paris Saint-Germain left-back Layvin Kurzawa.

Frank Lampard is desperate to sign a new left-back this summer after deeming Emerson and Marcos Alonso surplus to requirements and has identified Chilwell as his first-choice target.

But the humunguous price (of £80m) on the head of the Leicester City defender is causing Chelsea a sleepless night.

Kurzawa, who is set to become a free agent at the end of this month, is however seen as an option.

Metro, citing a report in France, claim that the Blues have also taken an interest in the 27-year-old.

“According to France Football, the west London club made contact with Kurzawa’s agents ‘a few days ago’ to register their interest in signing the experienced full-back,” states the report.

“The 27-year-old is set to become a free agent with his contract due to expire on June 30 and the report states multiple top European clubs are vying for his signature.

“Arsenal are still interested in Kurzawa after pursuing him in January, while Atletico Madrid are also keen on the French defender.

“His representatives are said to be focusing on getting the left-back a move to La Liga or the Premier League over the Serie A, with Inter Milan and Juventus also coming close to signing him in the last transfer window.”
