According to Sky Sports, Chelsea have joined Everton in the race to sign Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon, voted “the best left-back in La Liga” last season.
Reguilon spent last season on loan at Sevilla, helping the Andalusian club to fourth place and Champions League qualification.
Everton submitted an £18 million bid for Reguilon last week and the Blues are expected to trump Everton’s £18m bid in the coming days.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is keen on signing a left-back this summer with neither Marcos Alonso nor Emerson Palmieri managing to make the left-back position their own last season.
