Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell this month.
The former England international is attracting interest from plenty of suitors around Europe according to reports, with Juventus said to be keen on the player.
Chilwell has been frozen out of the first-team fold at Stamford Bridge by Enzo Maresca, who told the defender that he was surplus to requirements at the beginning of the term.
The left-back was placed in Chelsea's 'bomb squad' at the start of the season, training away from his senior teammates who would go out and fight for the Blues in the Premier League.
The ex-Leicester City favourite has played just a single match for the West Londoners this term - 45 minutes of action against League Two Barrow in the EFL Cup.

Chelsea wantaway Chilwell heading for German switch?
According to The Sun, Chilwell could be handed an interesting lifeline out of Stamford Bridge before the closing of the winter window on February 3.
The report claims that Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are weighing up a loan move for the 28-year-old until the conclusion of the season.
It is understood that the German side have switched their attentions to the potential capture of Chilwell after they missed out on signing fellow Chelsea defender Renato Veiga.
The Portugal international has not received the game time he would have liked under Maresca this term and is set to move to Juventus on a temporary agreement.
Chilwell has not played a Premier League game for Chelsea this season and was left out of the matchday squad for the 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.

Chilwell wants an English gig?
Whilst interest from last season's Champions League finalists will flatter Chilwell, it is believed that the player currently favours staying in England and the Premier League.
Either way, the defender needs to find a route out of Stamford Bridge before the February 3 deadline in order to get his career back on track.
Chilwell will surely have one eye on securing a spot in Thomas Tuchel's England plans, with the 2026 World Cup 18 months away from starting in North America.
