Chelsea to move to Axel Witsel?

Chelsea are set to join the likes of Everton and Manchester United in the race to sign Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel. The Belgian international will be on the move this summer after he refused to pen a contract extension.

According to The Mail, the Blues are the latest club to express interest in the 27-year-old, whose contract is due to expire at the end of next season.

Radja Nainggolan has been the prime target for Antonio Conte over the past month, but with Roma reluctant to accept a transfer price, Witsel could the next in line for the Blues.

Fellow English clubs Everton and United are also keeping tabs on the player's developments.

Witsel is currently plying his trade with his national side at the European championships in France.
