Report: Chelsea lead the race to sign Alex Telles

As is always the case during these transfer rumours, potential deals will carry on taking different twists and turns until the player is actually pictured in a new shirt signing for a new club.

The case of Alex Telles will be a perfect example of this.

The Porto left back looks set to leave his club this summer, but his destination remains unclear.

Chelsea was the name originally linked and seemingly his most viable option.

Then reports grew of Paris Saint-Germain’s interest, and French publication Le10Sport have provided an update on this.

Citing information they have got from Tuttosport, Chelsea are presenting a problem to PSG in their pursuit of Telles, and it is actually Frank Lampard’s side that still leads the race to sign the Brazilian left back.

They claim that new contacts between Telles’ camp and Chelsea have taken place recently, seemingly putting Chelsea firmly back in the picture.
