Saudi Arabia captain Yasser Al Qahtani, the newly-crowned Asian Player of the Year, could be training with Chelsea as part of the award.
The training offer, part of a partnership between Chelsea and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), is subject to the agreement of the players' club, Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia, the player himself and calendar commitments, Chelsea said in a statement on Wednesday.
Al Qahtani, 25, said he hoped winning the award, which he received in Sydney earlier on Wednesday, would boost his chances of playing in Europe.
"It's a dream of any player to play in any of the European leagues. I would prefer England or Spain," he said.
The prolific striker helped his country to the Asian Cup final in Jakarta in July but they were upset 1-0 in the final by Iraq.
