CHELSEA are in talks to sign Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson, according to reports.
It comes after Michael Olise turned down a move to Stamford Bridge and instead penned a new four-year deal with Crystal Palace.
Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be keen on bolstering his forward line and likes the look of Johnson.
But it will cost Chelsea £45million to tempt Forest into a deal, according to The Guardian.
Chelsea have made contact and discussions are at an early stage but have covered the possibility of a player being offered by the Blues in exchange.
