Chelsea after Sevilla winger - Shakhtar boss Lucescu

Shakhtar Donetsk manager Mircea Lucescu claims that Chelsea are plotting a winter move for Yevhen Konoplyanka.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho was present at Ukraine's Euro2016 qualifier against Spain in Kyiv on Monday to cast his eye over the Sevilla winger.

Lucescu also revealed that Konoplyanka's national teammate Andriy Yarmolenko, of Dynamo Kyiv, and Shakhtar's Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira were also on the radar of the reigning Premier League champions.

"Mourinho is interested in Yevhen Konoplyanka," Lucescu said.

"I was at Ukraine versus Spain with Mourinho and he is interested in some players.

"Perhaps it is Yarmolenko or Teixeira, if not, then it is Konoplyanka."

Konoplyanka only joined Unai Emery's Sevilla from Dnipro in the summer but has emerged as a target for Chelsea who have endured a poor beginning to their title defence.
