Reports suggest Blues interest in two midfielders

The Daily Star suggest that the Blues could be after Matias Vecino after Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte put him up for sale to make way for Christian Eriksen but it seems to be based purely on the fact that the Uruguayan would be available.

At 28, Vecino doesn't fit the age profile that Marcel Brands has primarily been after since he arrived at Finch Farm but, at 21, Villar would be a more likely candidate.

According to Alicante Plaza, Everton have already inquired about the 21 year-old but face competition from Roma, who have €3m bid already lodged, Atalanta and Juventus.

Finally, it has been reported in Italy that Brands is eyeing a move for Jérémie Boga in the summer. The Sassuolo midfielder is also being tracked by Carlo Ancelotti's former club, Napoli while Chelsea also have a buy-bacl clause for the 23-year-old.
