Chelsea are reportedly lining up a bid for CSKA Moscow's Seydou Doumbia as a replacement for Didier Drogba.
The Ivory Coast striker, who is an international teammate of Drogba, is rated at around £26m, the Daily Mail reports.
Premier League rivals Liverpool and Italian club Roma have also been linked with the 24-year-old, though neither has made a formal approach.
Porto striker Hulk has also been tipped as a potential replacement for Drogba, following reports that he has expressed an interest in joining the European Champions.
Doumbia has scored 33 times in 53 appearances this season for CSKA.
