Chelsea have been watching Romeo Lavia with a view to making a summer move.
The former Manchester City youngster, who has enjoyed an impressive season, is available this summer.
Southampton are relegated to the Championship and will likely lose their most promising talents.
Per The Mail, Chelsea were watching Lavia last week as they look to further bolster their squad.
The Blues have interest in other midfielders as well, with Manuel Ugarte on their radar.
However, he would cost 53 million from Sporting Lisbon, while Lavia may be available for a lower sum.
