Chelsea have made a £12million bid for Lyon's France
international winger Florent Malouda, according to reports in
France.
The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for the player in
recent weeks and now appear to have made their interest in him
official.
Coach Jose Mourinho is an admirer of the 27-year-old and Malouda
has already stated his desire to leave Stade Gerland.
A deal to bring the player to Stamford Bridge now looks
increasingly likely, although Chelsea's offer is still below Lyon's
valuation.
