Chelsea are looking into signing Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez as a possible replacement for N'Golo Kante.
Kante, 31, has a year left on his current contract at Stamford Bridge but has been plagued by injuries in recent months.
Manchester United were reportedly considering a move for the France international, with the Blues willing to sell. According to recent reports, Arsenal is now ready to make a surprise move for the former Leicester City star.
Kante's departure would leave a void in the middle of the park, but Chelsea see Argentina international Rodriguez as a possible long-term replacement, according to Seville-based Estadio Deportivo.
According to the report, Chelsea are 'well positioned' to make a move for the 28-year-old midfielder if Kante leaves this summer.
Premier League - Chelsea vs. Leicester City
Kante's contract with Chelsea expires in 12 months.
Chelsea are determined to make a number of signings this summer, with defense being an area in desperate need of reinforcements following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, as well as Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.
The Blues are in talks with Manchester City to sign Nathan Ake, with Matthijs de Ligt, Jules Kounde, and Dayot Upamercano also interested.
Chelsea are thought to be close to signing Raheem Sterling, with Thomas Tuchel eager for more attacking options.
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered to the London club by his agent Jorge Mendes, but Blues manager Jose Mourinho is not convinced the veteran striker is the best option.

Didier Drogba is without a doubt one of the best strikers in Premier League history. During his Chelsea career, he scored 157 goals and was awarded two Golden Boots.
According to one Liverpool fan on Twitter, Drogba is nothing special. The following is what the fan tweeted:
Drogba had 104 goals and 64 assists in 254 games, so looking at his goals per season is, first and foremost, incorrect.
Second, despite not scoring as many goals as someone like Thierry Henry, his contribution to Chelsea and his big-game performances cannot be overstated.
Chelsea fans responded angrily to the disrespect shown to their legend:
Steven Gerrard won 0 league titles in his career and is mentioned alongside Iniesta, Xavi Lampard, Modric Scholes, and others simply because he ran around the pitch headlessly and showed passion?
Drogba slander will never make sense to me; he was world-class and always rose to the occasion," Jake says. He also won two golden boots, four Premier League titles, and was an all-around good player for the team. You couldn't help but notice him playing itsnaav: Man ended a civil war in his country, won two golden boots, and led Chelsea's best attack ever, but an 18-year-old on Twitter who has never seen him play will tell us how good he was.
