Journalist Paul O Keefe has hinted that Chelsea could be boosted in their attempts to sign one player this summer.
The Blues are looking to add plenty of depth to their ranks ahead of next season, with them potentially having European football to contend with for the upcoming campaign.
While they are currently in the top seven of the Premier League, it has already been reported that Europa League football is the minimum expectation from the owners for Mauricio Pochettino.

Defence is a position where they will certainly have to strengthen this summer after it was reported that Thiago Silva would be on the move when his contract expires this summer.
He will be off to Brazil to rejoin Fluminense, with some of his former international colleagues delighted at the news.
One player they have been reported with being interested in for the role is Tosin Adarabioyo, who looks as if he is going to be on the move at the end of the season as a free agent.
The Fulham defender has impressed many in his time in the top flight already. Current boss Marco Silva has described him as ‘special’.
O Keefe has now handed them a boost in their attempts, with him already rejecting a move to Spurs.
He said on Twitter: “Tosin Adarabioyo has turned down an offer from Tottenham. Whether Tottenham return remains to be seen.”
This may suggest that he is looking for regular first team football straight away, and it remains to be seen if that would be on offer at Stamford Bridge.
They already have a plethora of young talent in the role, with Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana the leading talents there are faith in right now.
Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi have also sporadically proven their worth before, and although reports suggest he could be on the move, Trevoh Chalobah has proven that he should have a future in some capacity in West London.
