Chelsea have been keeping an eye on FC Porto in recent times, and left-back Alex Telles could be on their radar.
It emerged that the Brazilian was a target for the Blues last summer, but no move eventually materialised.
However, the left-back position is somewhere that could be strengthened in the upcoming transfer window, despite Emerson Palmieri stepping up in the last few months as Chelsea’s fight for a spot in the top four continues.
According to reputable Twitter account Scouts in Attendance, there were a number of club representatives attending Porto’s recent 2-2 draw against Rio Ave in Liga NOS.

Manchester United are another Premier League club who sent scouts to observe the fixture, according to the account.
Both Chelsea and the Red Devils will be looking to bolster their squads for next season, as the old rivals both struggled to compete for the title this season; instead, a fierce battle for a Champions League spot proceeds.
Telles has been in impressive form this season, registering 12 assists from the left side of the pitch for Porto, and even finding the back of the net five times.
