Here are the Chelsea morning headlines on Saturday, May 23.
Blues monitor Gladbach teen - reports
Chelsea are keeping tabs on Borussia Monchengladbach II’s promising teenage full-back Kaan Kurt.
The Sun, via the Metro, claims that the Blues and London rivals Arsenal are both tracking the progress of the 18-year-old.
Kurt has represented both Germany and Turkey at youth level while his Turkish heritage has also seen him linked with a move to Fenerbahce.
He is primarily a right-back but can also play on the left-side of a back four, while his contract at the German club runs until 2022.
Kurt is likely to be available at a bargain price but has impressed in Germany’s fourth tier.
No move for Griezmann - reports
Chelsea have been strongly linked with a summer move for Philippe Coutinho, but it is believed they will not make a move for his Barcelona teammate Antoine Griezmann.
football.london cites a report in Mundo Deportivo via Chelsea News that the Frenchman will not be up for sale this summer, despite a tough opening campaign at the Camp Nou.
Griezmann moved to the Blaugrana from Atletico de Madrid last summer when his €120million release clause was triggered.
But despite the Blues looking for attacking reinforcements, Griezmann will not be on their shortlist.
Ampadu injury issues continue
Chelsea's Ethan Ampadu will not be involved for RB Leipzig for their trip to Mainz this weekend due to an ongoing back injury.
The Wales international is said to be suffering from growing pains with the injury hampering him since February.
The teenager has not been a regular for the Bundesliga title hopefuls this season but he has impressed when used - such as in the 1-0 victory at Tottenham in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie in the Champions League.
