Chelsea to battle Real Madrid for Lyon star
CHELSEA are preparing yet another raid for one of Europe’s top young players, with an £8million January swoop for Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier.
Grenier, 20, a star of France’s Under-20 side, has just broken into the Lyon team, but his ball skills and ability at free-kicks have alerted clubs all over Europe.
Chelsea have had scouts at several Lyon games, but Real Madrid’s director of football Zinedine Zidane is also said to be keen.
