The Lokomotiv Moscow forward Oumar Niasse has been linked with a move to Chelsea by Eurosport.

The report states that Chelsea have sent scouts to monitor the Senegal international and that he has been included in the Blue’s list of targets for January.

Galatasaray have of course been closely linked Niasse over the past season and were close to landing a deal last summer which fell through at the last stages.
