The report goes onto state that the Stamford Bridge heavyweights are looking for a €12 million fee to secure the international’s signature.

Galatasaray have been on the hunt for a new striker since the summer transfer window and have previously been linked with Lokomotiv Moscow’s Oumar Niasse and Newcastle’s Papis Cisse.
