The Senegalese star has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge all summer and it looks like Antonio Conte has decided to make a massive offer in an attempt to get a deal done.

Everton are also said to be interested in the player but it looks like it is Chelsea who have made the first move to get a deal done by making a huge offer
