Chelsea reportedly remain in active contact over Seri deal

Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly still in contact with OGC Nice star Jean Seri, with the pair having been strongly linked with the player in recent weeks.

For several transfer windows now, the London-based duo have been touted as potential destinations for Seri, who looks all but set to leave Nice this summer.

Chelsea are well-stocked with midfield options and it’s believed that they are keen to offload Danny Drinkwater, too, indicating that a move for a central midfielder would come as something of a surprise.

However, according to claims from Nabil Djellit, a France Football journalist, Chelsea remain keen to recruit Seri from Nice as the race for his signature heats up.

Fulham and West Ham have also been heavily linked with the player and according to Djellit, the Ivory Coast international is currently situated in London as efforts are made to secure a summer move to the Premier League.

Seri enjoyed a strong season in France but appears to be closing in on an exit from Nice, with speculation surrounding a move to Chelsea still not going away.
