Revealed: Euro giants official holds talks with Chelsea in London over 21-year-old ace, several Premier League clubs join the race
Galatasaray sporting director Cenk Ergun held talks in London with Chelsea over Bertrand Traore according to reports in Turkey.
Fanatik claim that Ergun met with Chelsea official to discuss a loan move for the 21-year-old.
Traore is currently on loan at Ajax who will face Manchester United in the Europa League final.

Per the source, Galatasaray manager Igor Tudor has reportedly intervened and directly contacted his former Juventus teammate and current Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
Tudor has urged Conte to give him the green light to sign Traore on a temporary move next season.
Traore does have another two-years remaining on his Chelsea contract and has a total of 13 goals as well as six assists for Ajax in all competitions this season.
It remains to be seen whether Conte has plans for Traore next season but he may struggle to make the first-team with the likes of Diego Costa and Michy Batshuayi ahead of him in the pecking order – if they stay over the summer.
Traore has also attracted interest from several Premier League sides including Stoke City and Everton and could be available for an £8.5 million transfer fee.
Galatasaray would favour a loan move over a permanent transfer considering current financial constraints.
The Lions are currently fourth in the league and expected to book European competition football next season.
