Chelsea have contacted PSV Eindhoven over the signing of midfielder Ibrahim Sangare, as per Dutch journalist Rik Elrink.The Ivorian is expected to cost around €45 million having agreed to a contract extension at the Philips Arena in early August.

PSV are weighing up whether to sell either Sangare or Cody Gakpo, with both players highly sought-after.Sangare is impressing in defensive midfield and he made 49 appearances last season, scoring four goals and contributing as many assists.He ranked first in the league for tackles won, first for duels won, second for ball recoveries, and third for interceptions.Chelsea are eager to find a solution to their midfield issue at present, having been dominated in the middle of the park by the likes of Southampton and Leeds United.The Blues have reportedly made an offer to sign Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez.They are now seemingly showing an interest in Sangare ahead of deadline day on September 1.
