The Ox is one of three players Blues boss Antonio Conte is desperate to bring to Stamford Bridge following their shock 3-2 defeat to Burnley on the opening weekend.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, who starred in Arsenal's thrilling 4-3 win over Leicester last Friday night, is out of contract next season.

The club have so far failed to meet his apparent wage demands - which could give Chelsea hope in landing the £35million man.

Oxlade-Chamberlain, 23, would more than double his salary from his current £65,000 a week and become one of Chelsea's highest paid players in the process.

Reports claim Arsene Wenger feels he has to sell Oxlade-Chamberlain after failing to offload a number of fringe players.

That is believed to have restricted Arsenal in the transfer market - despite the purchase of, among others, star striker Alexandre Lacazette.

Chelsea are also keeping close tabs on Leicester's Danny Drinkwater and Southampton's Virgil van Dijk.

The Gunners travel to Stoke for the evening kick-off on Saturday looking to build on their win over the Foxes.
