Chelsea could reignite their interest in Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote after Oriol Romeu was ruled out for six months with a knee injury, according to reports.

Chelsea have targeted Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote as a replacement for the injured Oriol Romeu, according to reports.

Romeu was ruled out for six months earlier this week after he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury against Sunderland last weekend.

The Spanish midfielder's injury could result in Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez targeting Tiote as a direct replacement, according to Clubcall.com.

Benitez admitted on Wednesday that he was looking to add to his Chelsea squad in January.
