Chelsea leading PSG in race for new left-back

Chelsea have moved ahead of PSG in the race to sign FC Porto's highly rated left-back Alex Telles, reports French publication Le10 Sport. 

The Blues are in the market for a new left-back this summer with Frank Lampard not satisfied with his current options. 

Indeed, Marcos Alonso and Emerson have failed to impress at Stamford Bridge and their exit is likely, and it has seen Chelsea linked with a host of new left-backs. 

Ben Chilwell is high on the wish list for Lampard, while Nicolas Tagliafico and Robin Gosens are among those to be rumoured targets for the west London side. 

Links with a move for Telles refuse to die down and while Ligue 1 giants PSG have been monitoring the Brazilian's situation in Portugal, the French side find themselves behind Chelsea in the pecking order for 27-year-old. 

Porto will be reluctant to lose Telles this summer given his performances in Liga NOS this season. 

Indeed, Telles has scored eight goals and provided five assists in Portugal's top tier this term to return a WhoScored rating of 7.32.
