Chelsea 'eyeing £24m Kwadwo Asamoah'

Chelsea are reportedly ready to make a £24m bid for Juventus utility player Kwadwo Asamoah in January.

Earlier this month, Blues boss Jose Mourinho had suggested that the club were unlikely to be active in the forthcoming transfer window.

However, the Daily Star cites sources in Ghana as saying that Chelsea are willing to move for the 26-year-old star.

Asamoah has been a regular in the Juve side since his move from Udinese in 2012, but has been out of the lineup since November with a knee injury.

The player's potential move to Stamford Bridge may be delayed after he underwent surgery and he is expected to be out of action for around three months.
