That's according to new reports in Turkey that claim the Blues are hoping to wrap up a quick fire deal for the Nigeria star.

Stamford Bridge chiefs have been left impressed by the 27-year-old's performances at the World Cup and hope there opening bid will be enough to secure his services.

Emenike also enjoyed a good domestic season with the Turkish outfit, scoring 12 goals and providing nine assists.

It would mean Fenerbahce would make an excellent profit on the hitman, having signed him just a year ago from Spartak Moscow for £10m.

Chelsea are actively seeking a new strike partner for incoming frontman Diego Costa, after Jose Mourinho was left less than impressed by Fernando Torres and Demba Ba last season.

Following last term's trophyless campaign, the Chelsea boss has begun to reshape his squad having allowed Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and David Luiz to depart Stamford Bridge.

Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has arrived from Barcelona, while Atletico Madrid trio Costa, Filipe Luis and Tiago are expected to complete their moves to the club in the coming weeks.
