Chelsea consider £39m deal for Lens midfielder

Chelsea ready to battle Arsenal for Brentford star?

The talented midfielder is a free agent once his contract at Dnipro expires on July 1.

Konoplyanka has been heavily linked with a move to the English top tier, having missed out on a deadline day switch to Liverpool last summer.

Stoke City were understood to have finalised a contract with the 26-year-old, but The Mirror reports that the Magpies are ready to battle it out for the player's services.

Konoplyanka played a crucial role in Dnipro's Europa League campaign, as they eventually lost to Sevilla by a 3-2 scoreline in the final.
