Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah is in the interest of Fulham.
The west London rivals are exploring a loan deal for the 24-year-old, who is yet to play this season after a hamstring injury.
The defender is expected to be fit by the end of this month.
Chelsea are said to be willing to sell as they want to raise money for a left-back and striker, especially as Chalobah is homegrown and helps with the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play FFFP rules.
Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has settled for a back four of Levi Colwill, Thiago Silva, Axel Disasi and Malo Gusto.

Bayern Munich, Roma and Tottenham are also keeping an eye on developments.
Chalobah has made 63 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea since returning to Stamford Bridge this summer after loan spells at Ipswich Town and Huddersfield in the Championship and Lorient in Ligue 1.
Fulham are also among the clubs monitoring developments with Armando Broja, who Chelsea are willing to sell for almost £50 million.
Wolves are also keen to sign Broja during the January transfer window.
Much will depend on Chelsea’s own search for a striker as they explore the market for late chances.
