Chelsea are lining up a deal to sign FC Basel striker Breel Embolo.

The 18-year-old has become a star in Switzerland after bursting into the Basel first-team, and to date he’s scored 16 goals in 47 matches.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus and Barcelona have all sent scouts to check on his progress, but Metro has learnt that Chelsea are keen on signing him.

It’s believed that the Blues are keen on a January deal for the striker, and will move in if Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao depart the club.


Remy is wanted by a number of Premier League sides by Falcao could have his loan spell cancelled and be shipped back to French club Monaco.



Basel want about £20million for Embolo who is blessed with speed and power, and can also play on the right wing.
