Chelsea have lodged a £43million bid to sign Bayern Munich loanee Kingsley Coman

Antonio Conte is keen to bolster his ranks at Chelsea
But Juventus know they can get a lot more for the France international from elsewhere.
And Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim Chelsea are looking to hijack Bayern's deal for him after lodging a £43m bid in an attempt to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has also lodged a bid for Kingsley Coman
It is also suggested that Manchester City have matched Chelsea's bid for Coman.
