The agent of Kevin De Bruyne has confirmed he is to hold talks with Chelsea amid reports that several Bundesliga clubs are poised to come in for the winger.

The 22-year-old, who impressed during a season-long loan at Werder Bremen last season, was heavily linked with a return to the Bundesliga in the summer, with Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen among the interested parties.

However, De Bruyne remained at Chelsea and has struggled to make an impact since returning to Stamford Bridge, making just three Premier League appearances under Jose Mourinho.

As a result, the Belgium international is said to have become frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities, and his representative Patrick De Koster suggested that a January switch is possible.

He told German paper Express: "I am going to fly over to London to find a proper solution with Chelsea.

"Should Kevin be granted a transfer, I will be immediately on the phone to Michael Reschke (Leverkusen's general manager). We have a great relationship with him.

"Clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Schalke and Wolfsburg have also enquired.

"Kevin will decide which club offers the best future for him on a sporting level."

The former Genk midfielder was Belgium’s top scorer in the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign with four goals in 10 appearances.
