Reports have linked Chelsea with the signing of one player from the Bundesliga at the end of this season.
It has been reported that this is of the direct request of Mauricio Pochettino, who is clearly planning to the future despite there being reports that his job is far from secure.
It was claimed today that the Blues have an interest in bringing in RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo, potentially to replace one of their more important stars this season.

Chelsea want Olmo
This season has seen England international Conor Gallagher play near enough every game for his club, with the manager clearly taking a liking to him.
He has seemed to prioritise his playstyle over the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, despite the fact that the club spent big money on both of them.
However, this has not put an end to reports that Gallagher could be on the move, as the club look to battle with Financial Fair Play regulations.
If the 24-year-old is to move on, it is likely that the Blues will look for some form of replacement, and it has been reported today that that player could well be Olmo.

He said: “He’s a top player—he has a bright future, of course.
“His performance today shows it. About the transfer and the money he deserves, that is not the point. The point is he is an incredible player and I am pretty sure he is able to play in the strong leagues in Europe. Hopefully if Dinamo wants and he wants, it can happen.”
It remains to be seen if Chelsea are able to pull off a deal to sign the RB Leipzig man, with him likely to be in demand all around Europe when the transfer window opens again.
