Chelsea have reportedly been joined by Real Madrid in the race to sign Galatasaray left-back Alex Telles this summer.

According to sources in Spain, the talented young Brazilian is Rafael Benitez’s latest main target after sealing the transfer of Mateo Kovacic from Inter Milan.

Telles is a huge talent and could be an upgrade on Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao in defence, with the latter strongly linked with a move to AC Milan in recent times.

Chelsea have already signed a new left-back in Abdul Baba Rahman, but it was claimed they still wanted Telles as well.
