He has also scored four goals and registered an assist in five Europa League matches during this campaign.

However, GOAL reports that Leverkusen are not prepared to entertain offers for the striker, who is a crucial member of the squad.

It was gathered that the German outfit have valued the striker at €40 million (£34m/$43.28m), viewing him as a cornerstone of their future plans.

His contract with the club runs until 2028, but the club hold a position of strength in any potential negotiations, which means that Chelsea would need to make a substantial financial offer to secure his signature.

Another striker on the radar of the club is Pedro, and while the London club may be interested in acquiring the Brazilian forward, Pedro finds himself facing criticism from his own club's fans.

Reports have it that his recent performance in the match against Boa Vista did little to appease the disgruntled supporters.
