Chelsea wants to get a head start on all the other clubs who have asked about the Wigan Atheltic player and it seems that Gelhardt will have a difficult choice to make in the next few months.
The striker has already been a target for clubs such as Leicester City, Liverpool and Everton, but Frank Lampard's Chelsea has joined this bid.
This is what has been reported already from England, because the 'Blues' could make a good offer in the next transfer window.
So far this season, Gelhardt has played in 3 games and has also scored one goal.
