Chelsea consider Shaw alternatives?

Chelsea have reportedly identified two left-back transfer targets, amid speculation that Manchester United are to win the race to sign Luke Shaw from Southampton.

Rumours over the last few months had suggested that boyhood Chelsea fan Shaw was on Jose Mourinho's wishlist, but numerous reports have claimed that the England international will opt to join Premier League rivals United.

As a result, Mourinho has started to monitor alternative options, with Sevilla's Alberto Moreno and Porto's Alex Sandro under consideration, according to the London Evening Standard.

The publication added that Chelsea had been prepared to pay £20m to land Shaw, but United are open to the prospect of parting with around £30m for the 18-year-old.
