Sky Sports News revealed last week that Barcelona are interested in signing the Celtic right-back.

One source has told Sky Sports News he is the Catalans' number one target to fill that position, if they can find a solution to their Financial Fair Play restrictions.

Sky Sports News reporter Mark McAdam:

"Chelsea fans feared the worst after last night's game with Bournemouth when it came to Reece James and the knee problems he's been having but the fact it looks like being three or four weeks out is a massive positive. Chelsea have games coming thick and fast in the meantime and that's provided everything goes according to plan.

"Chelsea have held internal talks about a possible James replacement. Josip Juranovic at Celtic, the Croatia full-back... Chelsea have held talks with the recruitment team about the player and he is someone they could potentially be interested in.

"There's been no formal approach to Celtic, but we know the player has coveted a lot of interest from clubs in the past few weeks.

"Barcelona has been linked with him and he has good experience. He only joined Celtic in the summer from Legia Warsaw for £2.5m. The fact he's now being talked of as a £20m full-back gives you an indication of how well he's performed in that period of time."
