Chelsea are considering a surprise move for Douglas Luiz in January, with the midfielder currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
The Blues are looking at options to strengthen in the middle of the pitch and Luiz has emerged as a potential target as Liam Rosenior weighs up midfield reinforcements.
Luiz, who is tied to Forest while away on loan, has been put on Chelsea’s radar ahead of the winter window as they assess possible additions to the squad.
A January approach would represent an unexpected twist, given the player’s current situation, but Chelsea are understood to be exploring what could be possible as plans are drawn up for the second half of the season.
With Rosenior keen to add in midfield, Chelsea are keeping a close watch on Luiz’s circumstances as the window moves closer.
