Report: Chelsea step up Axel Witsel pursuit

By , Football Editor
A report claims that Chelsea have stepped up their pursuit of Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel.

Chelsea are reportedly ready to make a firm move for Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel.

The Belgian international has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the last couple of months, while Manchester United have also been credited with an interest.

United's double signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin suggests that the Reds are no longer in the race, but according to RTBF, Chelsea are still interested.

The same report claims that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will travel to Russia this week to discuss a move.

Witsel is believed to be keen on a move to England ahead of Euro 2016.
