Chelsea's interest in Celtic star Moussa Dembele has cooled off, with the club looking to Monaco's Thomas Lemar and Red Star Belgrade's Richmond Boakye to strengthen the attack, according to the Evening Standard.

Lemar is thought of more as a wide man who could help the attack, so the club are also looking at Boakye as a front man with Antonio Conte still not having trust for Michy Batshuayi.
