Chelsea are interested in signing Austrian international, David Alaba, from Bayern Munich.
The versatile defender can play at left back, centre-half and even in midfield.
And respected Spanish reporter Guillem Balague claims the Blues see Alaba as an alternative to Alex Telles.
They had hoped to sign the Brazilian from Porto, but he is looking like choosing Paris Saint-Germain.
Balague said on his YouTube channel: “There’s another player that if available, if not wanted by others, if he doesn’t go anywhere else, Chelsea would like. And that’s Alaba.
“He’s been approached by other clubs, yes, but Chelsea will be interested in Alaba and I think that his versatility will really work in favour of Frank Lampard.
“He can play as you know in the midfield, in the full-back position as well of course, that’s where he’s very well known as, but Pep Guardiola made him much more than just a full-back.
