Ivorian midfielder Cheick Tioté from Newcastle is reportedly being monitored by Chelsea recruiters. This interest has arisen due to the injury to Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu, who is expected to be sidelined for six months after knee surgery. Tioté, known for his strong performances, renewed his contract with Newcastle until 2017. The reported release clause for the Ivorian is €20 million, making any potential transfer a significant investment for Chelsea. Tioté, a double winner of the Belgian championship with Anderlecht in 2006 and 2007, also played in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final and is part of the squad for the upcoming AFCON.
