Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly in the running to snatch Salomon Kalou from Chelsea in the summer.

There have been doubts over the 26-year-old's future with the English champions as the expiration date of the forward's current deal at Stamford Bridge ticks down.

While it is believed that a move to Anfield or the Emirates is a possibility for the Ivorian, as many as 12 clubs are thought to be monitoring the player, according to Goal.com.

Reports have suggested that Kalou would prefer to stay in the Premier League if he decides to leave the Blues.
