Chelsea will face competition from Premier League trio Everton, Watford and West Ham in their bid to sign Denis Suarez from Barcelona.
Reports in Spain have claimed that all three teams have lodged enquires about the possibility of signing the player from the La Liga giants.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also long-term admirers and have been linked with January deals to bring the player to the Premier League, but that may not be so simple with interest beginning rise.
Suarez is out of favour at Barcelona and has failed to break into their first-team squad this season, with a move to England edging closer.
Teams in Spain are also believed to be interested and the report claims that Barcelona will allow the player to decide on his next move.
Serie A side Milan are very keen to sign the player this month but are only offering a loan deal, while Barcelona are looking to cash in and secure a permanent deal for at least €10 million.
