According to a report on Daily Mail, Chelsea are set to go toe-to-toe with Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City for the signature of Nice midfielder Jean-Michael Seri.

The report claims Chelsea boss Antonio Conte wants another midfielder because he hasn’t been impressed with summer signings Tiemoue Bakayoko and Danny Drinkwater.

Conte reportedly needs a player who operates in a deeper-lying position and has identified Seri as the man he needs.

Seri has three years left to run on his current deal with a £35million buy-out clause.
