Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is interested in Manchester City defender Nathan Ake.
Sky Italia's Gianluca di Marzio reports Tuchel is a big fan of Ake and could launch a move to bring him back to the club this summer.
Ake is the second City player Chelsea are interested in, with Raheem Sterling also a target in this window.
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is the priority target at centre-back after a deal fell through last summer. But Di Marzio says Ake is also on Tuchel's list of targets.
Tuchel is an admirer of the Dutchman and could make a move in this window. Ake spent six years at Chelsea between 2011 and 2017, making just 17 appearances in all competitions.
