Chelsea join chase for United target
Chelsea may also be about to hijacj another Manchester United move after opening talks with AS Roma over the signing of in-demand Moroccan centre-back Mehdi Benatia, according to the Daily Express.
The 27-year-old was one of the best defenders in Europe last season and had emerged as one of Louis van Gaal’s top targets to come in and strengthen his back four this summer, though a move never materialised.
The Blues will now hope to add him to their already-impressive list of defensive optionsm ahead of their title rivals.
