Chelsea linked with Real Madrid full-back
Chelsea and Arsenal are also said to be in competition for versatile Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa, according to the Daily Express.
The Blues could do with extra depth in defence this season after losing the likes of Ashley Cole and David Luiz, and Arbeloa is known to be a favourite of Jose Mourinho, whom he played under during his time in charge at the Bernabeu.
Arbeloa now looks to be out of favour in the Spanish capital and could be set to leave the club before the transfer deadline, with the Premier League looking a likely destination for the former Liverpool man.
