Chelsea are interested in signing&nbsp;Moussa Dembele, Wilfried Zaha and Jadon Sancho this month as they reshape their forward line, according to <a href="http://www.footmercato.net/autre-championnat/journal-du-mercato-chelsea-prepare-une-revolution-pour-son-attaque_271015" target="_blank">Footmercato.</a> The Blues have already had a €40 million (£34m/$44m) bid rejected by Lyon for&nbsp;Dembele but hope to tempt them into a deal by offering Olivier Giroud in exchange. They are also willing to offer Crystal Palace forward Zaha a contract worth around £200,000 ($261,000) a week plus bonuses to persuade him to move to Stamford Bridge England forward Sancho is also high on Chelsea's shortlist, though they fear any deal to prise him away from Borussia Dortmund could be prohibitively expensive this month.
