Chelsea monitoring Dusan Tadic

Chelsea could make a shock transfer bid for Southampton star Dusan Tadic in January. The winger has indicated that he would like to play Champions League football sooner rather than later.

Tadic, formerly of Dutch side Groningen, is valued by the Saints at over £20 million and manager Claude Puel has told the club hierarchy that he would like to keep hold of the forward into the future.

Chelsea will be difficult for Tadic to reject however and the player could triple his salary with a move to West London.

Tadic has also been monitored by German club RB Leipzig and Spanish side Villarreal.
