Riedewald, 20, is already a first-team regular for Ajax.

He made 32 appearances in all competitions as the Dutch outfit finished one point behind champions Feyenoord and reached the final of the Europa League last season.

And his performances have apparently not gone unnoticed at Stamford Bridge.

Transfer Market Web claim the Blues have already enquired over Riedewald's availability.

However the centre-back, who has three caps at senior level for the Netherlands, is tied to Ajax until 2020.

And they are apparently keen to keep one of their brightest prospects in Amsterdam.

But Transfer Market Web suggest a bid of around £13m could be enough to tempt them into selling Riedewald.

He will be guaranteed Champions League football with Chelsea after the west London outfit romped to the Premier League title in their first season under Antonio Conte.

The Italian is expected to considerably bolster his squad ahead of a return to Europe's premier club competition.

And Riedewald could arrive at Stamford Bridge as a replacement for departing veteran skipper John Terry.

Conte revealed he is preparing for a big summer last month, saying: "Don’t forget that Tottenham dropped out of the Champions League at the first group stage, and then dropped out in the first round of the Europa League [knock-out stage].

"If you consider the amount of our games and their games, there is a difference of what, eight games?

"But if you consider the squads, the numbers in each squad, you can see the difference: one team prepared to play the Champions League with 25 or 26 players, and another who prepared to play the League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

"Do we need more players? Yes for sure."
