Chelsea step up interest in £20m winger
Chelsea are looking to step up their £20million interest in Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claims Chelsea's Sporting director Frank Arnesen and scout Rainer Bonhof were in the crowd to watch France international Ribery play an influential role in the German Cup Final on Saturday as Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in extra time.
Ribery, 25, was outstanding, although the crucial goals came from Luca Toni.
Striker Toni, 30, a target for AC Milan, has also crossed Arnesen's radar but Chelsea are reluctant to recruit players who are 30 and over.
Ribery is on Roman Abramovich's summer hitlist as he looks to give around 100m to whoever is in charge come the start of the season.
