On Saturday, Kaveh Solhekol said: “Chelsea in talks to sign France U21 centre back Malang Sarr.
“He’s a free agent after his Nice contract ran out this summer. If Chelsea sign him they will send him out on loan.”
Sarr can play at left-back or centrally and was even handed the captain’s armband for one game last season and steered Nice to a 2-0 win over Toulouse.
Arsenal have previously been linked with the French defender but Chelsea now look in pole position to secure a deal, potentially as early as this week.
