Chelsea get boost in Ligue 1 star chase.
Chelsea look to have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain defender Marquinhos this January, according to latest reports.
The Blues are one of many admirers of the talented young Brazilian, who has also been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona in the recent past.
According to the Metro, the 21-year-old is now pushing for a move away from the Parc des Princes due to a lack of guaranteed first-team football under Laurent Blanc.
