Chelsea plan €18m Kjaer offer

The Denmark international has emerged as a January target for Antonio Conte, though Fenerbahce are reluctant to sell one of their best players.


Chelsea are plotting an €18 million bid for Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Antonio Conte is looking to bolster his defence despite the Blues's impressive first half of the Premier League campaign.

And he has identified the Denmark international as a player who could fit into his preferred 3-4-3 system.

Fenerbahce are reluctant to sell one of their biggest stars, but are willing to negotiate with the Stamford Bridge outfit given their interest.
