The Blues have continued to monitor Kjaer who Fenerbahce value at €15 million.

Kjaer has been in fine form for Fenerbahce this season and was selected in the UEFA Europa League Team of the Group Stages.

The 27-year-old netted twice over six games in Group A which saw Fenerbahce finish in first place above Manchester United.

Fenerbahce were however, eliminated from at the Round of 32 stage against Krasnador and are currently 10 points behind league leaders Besiktas in the title race.

The Yellow Canaries face the possibility of not qualifying for European football this season which would result in a blow to the club finances.

Kjaer is settled in Istanbul with his family and has become a fan favourite at the club.

The powerful defender’s current contract runs until 2019 and Fenerbahce are happy with his role at the club but they may end up having to consider offers for their most valuable players over the summer.

Kjaer has no previous Premier League experience but he has played in the Ligue 1 for Lille and Serie A for Roma.
