Chelsea are exploring a move to for midfielder Douglas Luiz, currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
The 27-year-old joined Forest from Juventus over the summer but has struggled for consistent game time under Sean Dyche.
The Brazilian would add experience to Chelsea's squad and provide cover in midfield for the injured Romeo Lavia.
The Blues have a positive relationship with Forest, who have given the former Aston Villa midfielder limited opportunities this season, while Juventus are incentivised to want improved game time for their loanee.
Chelsea are in advanced talks over signing Sheffield Wednesday full-back Yisa Alao, 17, who is being lined up for a role in the academy teams rather than a first-team option.
