CSKA Moscow midfielder Aleksandr Golovin is reportedly the subject of interest from the Premier League champions Chelsea, according to The Sun.

The Blues are weighing up a January move for the 21-year-old Russian worth around £15m as they look to reinforce their squad in the mid-season window.

The report adds that the west Londoners could sign him in the new year and loan him back to the Russian outfit for the remainder of the season.

Arsenal have been interested in Golovin back in the day, but report claims that Chelsea are leading the race for the player’s signature.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is desperate for new signings in the January transfer window after the club fell 14 points behind the league leaders Manchester City in the race for the title.
