Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea.
While Frank Lampard has seemingly been prioritising bids for attack-minded players, it has become increasingly apparent that the Blues require additions in their defensive and middle thirds.
According to Bild reporter Christian Falk, Chelsea are one of a number of Premier League clubs who are continuing to monitor the development of Zakaria.
The 23-year-old, who would add some much-needed height to Lampard's squad, has just helped Monchengladbach earn a return to the Champions League.
Speaking to the Byline Podcast, Falk said: "It's true but Chelsea are not the only club keen.
"We know these clubs have shortlists and Zakaria is on the shortlist of Chelsea because he is a really good player, but he is also on the shortlist of [Manchester] United and the shortlist of [Manchester] City."
Falk added that it may take an offer in the region of £50m to tempt the Bundesliga side into selling the Switzerland international.
Manchester United 'ask to be kept in loop over Jan Oblak'

Manchester United are reportedly open to making a big-money approach for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
With the performances of David de Gea coming under increasing scrutiny, United may potentially consider finding a replacement for their long-time number one.
Although Dean Henderson could be promoted into the starting lineup, The Sun claims that United want to be informed of any developments involving Oblak.
The Slovenia international has recently been linked with a switch to Chelsea, who are eager to bring in an alternative to Kepa Arrizabalaga.
However, with Atletico showing little interest in a part-exchange deal, it remains to be seen whether the Blues are willing to get anywhere near to Oblak's £109m release clause.
While Oblak still has three years left on his contract, a significant bid may tempt Atletico into a sale this summer.
