Chelsea Transfer News: Former Man United target eyed, Psg midfielder aim, Arsenal battle
EXPRESS SPORT brings you all the latest news from Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho Manager Profile
Chelsea are targeting Barcelona right-back Dani Alves as a replacement for Branislav Ivanovic, according to reports.
Dani Alves has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge
Brazilian publication sambafoot reports the Blues are considering a move for the 32-year-old despite the defender only signing a new contract with the La Liga giants this summer.
Ivanovic has come under criticism for his performances of late and with Cesar Azpilicueta the only other ideal choice, Mourinho is in need of another to fill that position.
Manchester United had been linked with a move after executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward had identified him as the perfect right-back.
Blaise Matuidi is being lined up as John Obi Mikel's replacement, according to reports.
The Nigerian came close to a move away from west London this summer before Mourinho put a halt to proceedings.

And now, according to Tuttomercatoweb, the Blues could make a £30million bid for Paris Saint-Germain's Matuidi which could see Mikel leave the club.
A key part of Laurent Blanc's side, the Frenchman has made 142 appearances for the French giants, scoring 17 goals.
Alexandre Lacazette has been a long term target of Arsenal's
Mourinho has also set his sights on bolstering his attacking options and could be lining up a move for long-term Arsenal target Alexandre Lacazette.
Spanish publication Fichajes report that the Portuguese boss has identified him as potential signing with Newcastle also keeping tabs.
Lacazette scored 27 goals in 33 games for Lyon last year, making him Ligue 1's top goalscorer.
