Having had a quiet January the Blues are set to be busy in the summer, with a number of areas in the squad needing to be addressed.
Chelsea are said to be in the market for a centre back, whilst it’s believed they want to add another midfielder and attacker.
Chelsea signed four attackers last summer in Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap, but only Pedro has made an impact this season.
The Brazilian has scored 19 goals in all competitions, with 14 of those coming in the Premier League, whilst the others have really struggled.
More creativity in attack is something the Blues desperately need and Chelsea have been linked with Aston Villa star Rogers.
Chelsea have also reportedly made an enquiry for Brentford’s Igor Thiago, and Jacobs has provided an update on their search for an attacker.
He reported for talkSPORT the Blues are looking for a new creative attacker, potentially someone who can operate from the left, with Rogers a name that’s appreciated.
Rogers has scored 12 goals and registered nine assists in 50 appearances in all competitions for Villa this season.

Colwill hasn’t played all season due to an ACL injury, whilst James hasn’t played since the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on March 14th.
With the FA Cup final two weeks away, this is a huge boost for Chelsea, and they’ll be hoping James at least can be ready to start that game.
