Paul Clement wants to use his Chelsea connections to complete a stunning transfer double.

The Swansea boss, fresh from landing striker Tammy Abraham on loan, now wants to beat Leicester and Watford to England Under-21 star Nathaniel Chalobah.

Clement knows the 22-year-old from his time as youth coach and first-team coach at Stamford Bridge.

Chalobah, entering the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, is in talks over a new deal. But he has been inundated with offers before - and since - his stunning performances at this summer’s U21 European Championship.

Chalobah made 15 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season. Yet just one of them was a start in the Premier League.

He has already had loan spells at Watford, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Napoli during his time at Chelsea and is now keen to play more regularly.

The champions, however, are close to sealing the £35million signing of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, meaning Chalobah is set to see his opportunities restricted further.
