CHELSEA are reportedly considering a TRIPLE swoop on Manchester City as they add Oleksandr Zinchenko to their transfer shortlist.
A move for the 25-year-old is being explored by the Blues alongside team-mates Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake.
The Daily Mail report that Chelsea are "keen" on landing Zinchenko, backed by new owner Todd Boehly.
But they face stiff competition from London rivals Arsenal and West Ham.
The Ukrainian international had a good end to the season under Pep Guardiola, however Joao Cancelo remains City’s No1 left-back.
Zinchenko has made 128 appearances since joining from Ufa for a bargain £1.7milliom in 2016.

The West London club are ready to slap in a formal bid of around £50million.
And reports say that Boehly has also requested a valuation for Ake.
The Blues want to strengthen their defensive options with Ake after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have allegedly been told Declan Rice is NOT for sale.
West Ham are sticking with their whopping £150million asking price of the England midfielder.
The Hammers are determined not to sell the 23-year-old for anything less than the mega value – which is £50m more than Manchester City’s British record signing Jack Grealish.
