Chelsea and Antonio Conte are being linked with a move for Brazil and Santos forward, Gabriel Barbosa.
The Mirror believe that Chelsea have been handed a boost in the race to sign the youngster, with Juventus already interested in the player after losing Alvaro Morata to Real Madrid.
It’s now likely that Chelsea have also lost ground in the race to sign Morata and they’re turning their attention to alternative targets.
The Italian side are believed to have approached Santos for the player, but Chelsea reportedly have a £25million bid on the table, with the player thought to be keen on testing himself in the Premier League.
Barbosa, also known as Gabigol, has been a long-term target for Chelsea and after missing out on Neymar when the forward originally left Santos, they may want to get this deal sewn up quickly.
