Chelsea demand £17.5million for Bertrand Traore as Lyon plot swoop

Chelsea have slapped a £17.5m price tag on Bertrand Traore amid interest from Lyon.

According to RMC, the Premier League champions are in talks with the Ligue 1 club about selling the Burkina Faso forward.

Traore has spent the season on loan at Ajax, scoring nine goals in 24 Eredivisie appearances.

He looks no closer to breaking into the first team at Chelsea, who are expected to strengthen their forward line even further during the window.

Lyon are big fans of Traore, however, and are hoping to complete a permanent deal for him.

But it has been reported that the £17.5m asking price may dent their hopes of completing a move.
