The report adds Chelsea have made initial enquiries over a move this month, and a meeting has taken place between his agent and officials at Stamford Bridge, whilst there’s also interest from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.
Hadj-Moussa impressed at AFCON with two assists in four appearances, whilst he’s also made a good start to the season in Holland with seven goals and three assists in 23 appearances in all competitions.
Chelsea have a plethora of wingers
It’s known the Blues are looking for another attacker, and they made a late enquiry for Antoine Semenyo before he joined Manchester City.
Chelsea signed Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens last summer, whilst Geovany Quenda will arrive from Sporting Lisbon at the end of the season.

If the club are serious about signing Hadj-Moussa then one of the current crop of wide players would more than likely have to leave to make room in the squad.
Hadj-Moussa plays on the right, where Chelsea already have Pedro Neto and Estevao, whilst Quenda is also expected to provide further competition, so a move for the Algerian doesn’t appear to make much sense.
