Chelsea have been named as favourites to land Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore.
The Yorkshire Post claim that the Blues are at the front of the queue to sign the player who is being valued at £15 million.
Traore has been a player heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the past, despite the lack of consistency shown since making the move to England.
Chelsea have been following his progress since his time at Aston Villa.
The winger flourished during the latter stages of the season under Tony Pulis at Middlesbrough, prompting reports of yet more interest from the Blues.
With Middlesbrough missing out on promotion to the Premier League, they may be forced into the selling the player this summer.
Traore has often attracted interest in the past, specifically from Premier League sides.
The former Barcelona youngster may feel now could be the time to move on for the sake of his career, but regular game time would be difficult to find at Stamford Bridge.
