| Oumar Niasse has been linked with Chelsea and Tottenham |
The Senegal international was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last year, with Premier League rivals Tottenham also reportedly interested.
Turkish giants Galatasaray were said to be hot on his heels too, and newspaper Fanatik claimed Lokomotiv would be willing to sell for £4.4million.
And according to CalcioMercato journalist Matteo Pedrosi, The Blues are keen on the 25-year-old striker.
"Chelsea are really interested in signing Lokomotiv Moscow striker Oumar Niasse," he tweeted.

Niasse has been in fine form this term, scoring 11 goals in 17 games for Russian side Lokomotiv.
And his goals would certainly be welcomed by Chelsea fans, who have seen little from star players Diego Costa and Eden Hazard this campaign.
The Belgian has not scored a single competitive goal this season and Costa is a shadow of his former self, netting just five times in the league.
Chelsea have also been linked with frontmen Antoine Griezmann and Alex Teixeira in the January transfer window.
