Chelsea have made moves to try and bring impressive defender to Stamford Bridge

Fabrizio Romano has said CHELSEA are big fans of Tomas Araujo, who is currently a regular at the back for Benfica, and are ready to make a move for the defender as they seek to improve that back-line.

Despite the clubs quality attacking ability, there has been some issues that is causing Enzo Maresca at the back as the club have been unable to fill the leadership void that Thiago Silva left after he decided to depart the club and top level football.

There has been so much speculation and rumours linking the club with all sorts of top level defenders, and now it seems that the board are eying up a potential move to bring Araujo to the Premier League from Benfica.

Araujo has established himself as one of the best young prospects in his country since breaking into the first-team squad at SL Benfica. A native of Famalicao, he spent his formative years with four clubs in Portugal before graduating from the youth division at SL Benfica.

Now, according to the O Jogo Newspaper (Tuesday November 12), Chelsea are one of a host of Premier League clubs who have made contact with the Champions League side about potentially signing him.

We have been so happy with so many signings this season, but there are also a number of players that were not ready to join a massive club like Chelsea. Araujo is a talented defender that could have a bright future in the game, but i would much prefer the club try and sign a player with a bit more experience.
