Chelsea are interested in signing Georgia international goalkeeper Giorgi Loria, according to head coach Kakhaber Tskhadadze.
The 29-year-old is yet to play for Russian Premier League side Krylia Sovetov since signing from Olympiacos in July, but Georgia boss Tskhadadze is certain of interest from the current Premier League champions.
"There were two days where Chelsea would not stop calling," he is quoted as saying by Spanish outlet Marca, but said that he recommended Loria "concentrate on playing with his new team".
Chelsea are currently without injured first-choice keeper Thibaut Courtois, who may not return to action until Christmas, with Asmir Begovic stepping in for the Belgium international.
