Chelsea are reportedly considering a bid for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu as reports continue to link Oscar with a move away from West London.

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Inter Milan were considering a bid for Blues playmaker Oscar, with the West London outfit potentially being tempted into a sale should an offer of £25m be made by the Italian giants.

According to Turkish publication HaberTurk, Chelsea have already identified Calhanoglu as a potential replacement for the Brazilian, who has made over 200 appearances for the Premier League side since moving to the club in 2012.

Calhanoglu is currently a key part of the Bundesliga team's starting lineup, with the 22-year-old having scored three goals in 12 outings this season.

The Turkish international could cost a fee in the region of £17m should Chelsea decide to back up their interest in the player.
