Chelsea want to sign Crystal Palace and England centre-back Marc Guehi.

The west London club are looking for a replacement for Wesley Fofana, who Enzo Maresca confirmed could miss the rest of the season with a serious hamstring injury.

Newcastle made several attempts to sign Guehi last summer but could not agree a fee with Palace.

The 24-year-old started his career at Chelsea's Cobham academy before joining Palace in an £18m deal in the summer of 2021. Guehi has 18 months remaining on his current deal at Selhurst Park.

Another option being considered by Chelsea is to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Palace.
