Chelsea have entered into advanced talks with Porto about a summer deal for Alex Telles, reports have claimed.

The world is currently gripped by the Coronavirus outbreak that is shutting down pretty much every aspect of life, which has meant that there has not been much news to report coming out of the Stamford Bridge.’

But Frank Lampard knows that he needs to improve the side if he wants to get back inside the top four and then push on to challenge for a Premier League title and Champions League crown, and one area of concern for us is the defence, as it is not good enough to challenge the big boys in Europe,.

So Lampard is reportedly keen to sort that issues out with the possible signing of Telles, who has been very impressive for Porto over the last few seasons, and were handed a massive boost recently when Portuguese newspaper RECORD claim Telles is now being represented by famed agent Pini Zahavi – a man who has long-rooted ties at Chelsea.

He played a role in Roman Abramovich’s purchase of the club back in 2003 and has had a hand in a host of transfers for the club since then, while he remains on excellent terms with current hierarchy, and the reports suggests Telles will be hoping Zahavi can secure him a big-money move to the Premier League, with Porto willing to let him leave if his £35million release clause is met.

Now French Outlet PARIS UNITED have claimed that we are now in advanced talks with Porto about a possible £35 million summer transfer deal.
