Chelsea's attacking prowess has been there to see in recent weeks, with Antonio Conte's men really stepping up their game.

Before the international break, the Blues absolutely blitzed Everton 5-0, with Pedro, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa completely destroying the Toffees backline.

But it appears as though Chelsea are very much looking to improve their attacking options even further, with reports that the club are interested in Bayer Leverkusen man Hakan Çalhanoğlu.

Çalhanoğlu, a Turkey international, is a key cog in Roger Schmidt's Bayer side and has made 12 appearances in all competitions, scoring three times.

The 22-year old is an incredibly talented attacking midfielder and a dead-ball specialist; he scored a memorable long-range free-kick against Borussia Dortmund in his Hamburg days.

The likes of Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas could be offloaded in January, freeing up a space for Chelsea to sign Çalhanoğlu.

However, the report from Haber Turk says that Chelsea do not want to pay any more than 20m euros, which roughly equates to £17m. Leverkusen will likely want to make substantial profit on the €14.5 million they reportedly paid to sign him from Hamburg in 2014.
