CHELSEA are plotting a January move for AC Milan star Ismael Bennacer, according to reports.
Graham Potter already has an abundance of midfield talent at his disposal, but both N'Golo Kante and Jorginho are out of contract in 2023.
The Blues did sign Denis Zakaria in the summer, but the Switzerland international is only on loan from Juventus.
Chelsea do have an option to buy Zakaria, but it's unclear whether that'll activate that clause.
Therefore, according to CalcioMercato, recently-appointed Potter is interested in signing Bennacer, although faces competition from Liverpool.
The report claims that Milan aren't willing to sell Bennacer for less than £35m.
