Chelsea are reportedly closely tracking midfielder Andre Gomes, as reported by fichajes.net.
The talented 21 year old is currently on loan at Valencia from Benfica, and Jose Mourinho has specifically asked his club to keep an eye on the Portuguese star as he continues to impress for the Spanish side, which he has done so since the start of the season.
A move for the player could be difficult, however, given his current contractual situation with the Spanish side.
Valencia were taken over by Peter Lim recently, with the extremely wealthy investor having bankrolled a significant summer spend to improve the club’s squad.
As part of that, Lim invested in players on loan prior to his confirmation as owner, and he has an agreement in place with Benfica to confirm the transfer in the near future.
This might mean that Chelsea will have to negotiate Gomes out of the agreement before being able to push through a move.
