Chelsea will only sell Bournemouth target Asmir Begovic if they can find a replacement for the back-up goalkeeper, according to Sky sources.

It is understood that the Cherries do want to sign the Bosnian, who has made just four appearances this season - all in the EFL Cup and FA Cup.

Begovic moved to Stamford Bridge from Stoke for £8m in 2015 but has found first-team opportunities limited this season with Thibaut Courtois having already kept 13 clean sheets in the Premier League, with the Blues eight points clear at the top of the table.

Chelsea want more than £10m for Begovic now.

The 29-year-old is in line to make a rare start for Chelsea in the FA Cup on Saturday as Antonio Conte's side host west London neighbours Brentford.
