Report: Chelsea want Telles

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly set his sights on signing Galatasaray defender Alex Telles this summer.

The Blues are expected to be in the market for a new left-sided full-back in this transfer window after selling Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid.

According to the Daily Mail, Telles has emerged as the Premier League club's leading target, ahead of the previously-linked Augsburg defender Abdul Baba Rahman.

Telles, 22, joined Galatasaray from Gremio in January 2014 and has since made 37 appearances for his current club.

Paris Saint-Germain have also been credited with an interest in the defender.
