Chelsea have been given permission to discuss personal terms with Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, according to The Telegraph.
The Colombian striker has been with the Villans for the last 18 months, but he has made only 38 appearances for them in all competitions.
Duran has played second fiddle to Ollie Watkins, but he could be playing in a different shirt next season with interest from the Blues.
The west London giants have been permitted to discuss terms with Duran and a long-term contract could be agreed in the near future.
The club have yet to finalise a transfer fee with the Villans, but reports claim that an agreement could be reached before June 30.
A deal worth £40 million could be agreed between the clubs. Chelsea could easily recoup the funds with Villa's interest in Ian Maatsen.
Maatsen currently has a release clause worth £35m in his deal, but the Villans prefer to sign him for slightly less this summer.
