Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea want to sign Said El Mala

Chelsea are one of the clubs interested in signing Koln winger Said El Mala during the summer transfer window, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The west London giants are planning to add more quality to their wide attacking department this summer and are looking at youthful options.

El Mala has now emerged as a prime target for the Blues amid his good progress at Koln. He has 13 goal contributions in his debut campaign.

Koln are currently just above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga and he could be signed for a relatively low fee of around £30m if they don't beat the drop.

On the other hand, the price could be significantly higher and closer to the £50m mark if Koln manage to avoid relegation from the German top-flight.

Brighton & Hove and Borussia Dortmund are also keen on the versatile forward, but Chelsea are seemingly pushing to land his services ahead of the pack.
