Mason Mount has agreed to join Manchester United and his absence will leave a gaping hole in the Blues midfield which will need to be filled. Cherki, 19, has been impressive with his performances at the Under-21s European Championship, helping France reach the quarter-finals - where they will face Mykhailo Mudryk's Ukraine on Sunday.
According to Football London, the Blues are exploring a move for a player Zinedine Zidane wanted to sign for Real Madrid a few years back and has spoken very highly of.
Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are keen on signing some of the best young players in world football and have identified Cherki as an ideal signing.
