The Blues are on the lookout for attacking reinforcements, having allowed Romelu Lukaku to return to Inter on loan, while Timo Werner is expected to join RB Leipzig.
Callum Hudson-Odoi could also leave the club amid interest from Newcastle United, Southampton and Leicester City.
But Thomas Tuchel’s side could bolster their forward line with a player well experienced with the cut and thrust of Premier League football.
The entourage of Crystal Palace star Zaha have let Chelsea know that he is open to signing for them this summer.
