Chelsea pair Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount have reportedly emerged as summer transfer targets for Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.
Both players have spent the season out on loan in the Championship - Abraham with Aston Villa and Mount with Midlands rivals Derby County.
Having impressed during their latest stints away from Stamford Bridge, there are suggestions that the duo could be part of Chelsea's first-team squad next season, especially if they are hit with a transfer ban.
The Daily Mail suggests that Leipzig may try their luck, though, wanting to become the latest German club to poach young English talents.
Abraham has scored 22 goals in 33 games for Villa, while Mount has chipped in with seven goals and three assists for Derby.
However, the report also claims that the Villans and the Rams will make their own pitch to retain their loan stars should they earn promotion to the Premier League.
