The Colombia international has spent the past six years plying his trade in Europe after joining Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon from La Equidad.

And since he linked up with PSV in a two-player deal involving Stijn Schaars in 2013, he’s helped win two Dutch top flight titles.

Arias made 31 appearances under Philips Stadion boss Phillip Cocu last season, earning rave reviews.

And it seems his performances caught Antonio Conte’s eye, with the Chelsea gaffer on the look out for a new right wing-back.

The Blues want competition for Victor Moses on the right side of defence.

And they look set to lose out to Inter Milan in the race for first choice Joao Cancelo.

The Sun claim Arias is on Chelsea’s list of potential backline targets.

Although they may have to go shopping elsewhere if Swansea get their way.

The Sun reckon Paul Clement is hoping to get a £12m deal over the line for Arias.

And Conte might have to force Chelsea chiefs’ hands to snap the 25-year-old ahead of the Swans.

Arias has apparently been waiting for Chelsea to come in for him for the past two transfer windows.

Tottenham could offer him the chance to move to London too, with Kieran Trippier’s ankle injury an ongoing concern.
