Chelsea are reportedly preparing to launch an improved for Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle as they look to bring in a replacement for Didier Drogba.

Schurrle has been on Chelsea's radar for some time as the Blues look to replace Drogba, who left the club at the end of last season.

Chelsea recently had a bid in the region of £16million rejected by Leverkusen, with the club's general manager Rudi Voller insisting the 21-year-old would not be sold as the Bundesliga outfit would be "unable to sign a replacement."

But according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are ready to return with an improved bid worth £20m as they look to continue their summer spending spree.

The west London club have already spent around £70m during this transfer window, signing the likes of Oscar, Eden Hazard, his younger brother Thorgan, and Marko Marin.

Chelsea are also keen on signing a right-back in time for the start of the new Premier League season, with Porto's Alvaro Pereira and Marseille's Cesar Azpilicueta on their shortlist.

A deal for Wigan winger Victor Moses is also expected to go through this week providing a fee can be agreed.

Schurrle is known to be keen on joining Chelsea, and after seeing his club turn down an offer last month, he told Kicker: "Chelsea's interest was really concrete. They would have been a very interesting option for me."
