Chelsea are unlikely to pursue a deal for OGC Nice star Jean Seri if they are able to secure the signing of Aleksandr Golovin this summer, according to claims from the Telegraph.
The Blues are deep in negotiations with CSKA Moscow as they look to land Russian international Golovin in a deal believed to be worth £27m.
Chelsea want to strengthen their depth in midfield this summer and had been linked with a move for Seri, who enjoyed yet another successful season at Nice last term.
A host of Premier League clubs have been linked with respective moves for Seri but according to the Telegraph, Chelsea are likely to end their interest in the player if a deal can be reached for Golovin.
It’s stated in the report that Chelsea have observed similarities between Golovin and Real Madrid star Luka Modric, helping to convince them of his qualities as they chase a big summer deal for the rising star.
