Reports have emerged claiming that Chelsea are stepping in for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony.
The Sun revealed that the Blues are planning to hijack West Ham’s £12million move for goal-ace Bony.
The Hammers thought they were close to agreeing a record-breaking deal to nab him in the summer.
Co-chairman David Sullivan met one of the player’s agents, London-based Francis Kacou, on Monday.
But Chelsea see the free-scoring forward as a potential replacement for £50m flop Fernando Torres — and made their move later that day.
