Chelsea joined by four Premier League clubs in battle for free agent
CHELSEA have been joined by FOUR Premier League clubs in the race for free agent Martin Caceres.
The Best Free Transfers to the Premier League
The Uruguay international is currently without a club after he was released by Juventus at the end of last season.
Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his defensive options, despite the double deadline day arrivals of centre-half David Luiz and left-back Marco Alonso.
The Blues manager is reportedly interested in a reunion with Caceres at Stamford Bridge, having previously worked with him during his time at Juve.
But now the Sunday People claim top-flight rivals Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea and West Brom are also looking to snap up the experienced 29-year-old.
Martin Caceres a wanted man in the Premier League
The former Barcelona defender can still sign for a club outside the transfer window because he is unattached.
The report suggests he already has a number of offers on the table and is likely to arrive in England before the end of the month to assess his options.
