Chelsea interested in Steven N'Zonzi

Chelsea are planning a move for midfielder Steven N'Zonzi after his impressive debut season with Sevilla. The Frenchman joined the La Liga outfit from Stoke City last summer, and played a key role in their third successive Europa League triumph.

The Sun reports that the Blues are eager to add the holding midfielder to their ranks as they seek to bolster the spine of their squad ahead of the 2016/17 campaign.

Nevertheless, they would have to fight off interest from Leicester City, who have earmarked the 27-year-old as a potential replacement for the unsettled N'Golo Kante.

N'Zonzi appeared in 31 games for Sevilla in all competitions last term.
