Big spending French club AS Monaco are the latest club to be linked with Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi.

Monaco have already made several high profile signings since their return to the Ligue 1, with the likes of Radamel Falcao, Joao Moutinho, Ricardo Carvalho and James Rodriguez joining the Principality club since the end of last season.

Mikel who has four years left in his contract at Stamford Bridge was earlier reported to have attracted the interest of Turkish giants Galasatary and Trabzonspor.

But reports in the Daily Mail suggest the Monaco, backed by the financial clout of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, have earmarked Mikel as their latest transfer target, despite recently signing French holding midfielder Jeremy Toulalan from Malaga.

Mikel was given an extended break by Chelsea as a result of his participation in the Fifa Confederations Cup and will not be a part of the club's preseason trip to Thailand.
