Chelsea eye Ricardo Rodriguez
Chelsea are weighing up a summer bid for Wolfsburg defender Ricardo Rodriguez. The Blues want to bring in the Swiss international after left-back Baba Rahman joined Schalke 04 on a season-long loan.
The 23-year-old fared well for his nation at the European championships in France, and this has caught the eye of a whole host of clubs.
According to The Mirror, manager Antonio Conte wants to seal a £22m move for Rodriguez with Cesar Azpilicueta being the only reliable option for the left-back role.
League rivals Arsenal were previously credited with interest for the player before they opted to keep hold of Kieran Gibbs at the Emirates.
Reports elsewhere suggest that the Blues have failed with a record £50.2m offer for top target and Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
