Chelsea are reportedly preparing a swoop for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira.
The German international had his season curtailed earlier in the campaign when he suffered a knee injury, and a move for the Los Blancos man hinges on whether or not he makes a full recovery, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Should Kheidra return to fitness unscathed, Blues boss Jose Mourinho, who worked with the player in the Spanish capital, may be ready to make an offer in the summer.
The Blues are currently top of the Premier League.
