According to French media reports, FA Cup winners Chelsea are in advanced negotiations to land Jean-Michael Seri ahead of the Gunners this summer transfer window.
Chelsea keen on the midfielder
French publication RTL, as cited by Metro, is claiming that Chelsea are hoping to seal a deal to bring in the 26-year-old as their first signing of the summer window.
North London giants Arsenal reportedly held discussions over a transfer deal to land Seri last summer window but a switch failed to happen for the box-to-box midfielder.
Premier League giants Manchester United are also thought to be keenly interested in the Nice star this summer window as Portuguese tactician Jose Mourinho looks to reinforce his team ahead of next campaign.
Blues leading the race
As per the same report though, it is the Blues who are leading the transfer race to land Seri this summer window, despite the uncertainty surrounding Antonio Conte’s Job at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are yet to sign any player this summer window as they look to build a team good enough to win the English Premier League title next term.
It was a rather disappointing season for Chelsea as they missed out on UEFA Champions League football next season due to their fifth-spot finish in the English Premier League.
