The Premier League champions set their eyes on Benteke after their top target Romelu Lukaku was sold to Manchester United on Thursday in a £75 million deal​.​ 

Benteke​ ​joined Palace the previous summer, arriving​ ​from Liverpool for £27m​.​ 

The Belgium global showed up, sacking 15 objectives en route. 

Benteke​ ​is appreciated by Blues supervisor Antonio Conte​, who is sharp in fortifying his​ ​forward options​ ​as Diego Costa appears to be sure to leave Stamford Bridge. 

The Telegraph​ ​reports that he ​has communicated enthusiasm for marking Benteke, who still has three years left to keep running on his Palace ​contract.
