Chelsea will face competition from Everton and Tottenham in the race to sign Wilmar Barrios from Boca Juniors this summer.
TyC Sports claim that the Toffees are the latest team to express an interest in the Colombian international.
The 24-year-old is believed to have a release clause of €18 million and could make a move to the Premier League in the new year.
There had been some suggestions that the player was on his way to Chelsea in January, but a deal does not appear to be as straightforward.
Tottenham themselves have reportedly been monitoring the player for some time.
Barrios has drawn comparisons to N’Golo Kante in the past and is attracting a lot of Premier League interest.
The player caught the headlines in Russia against England when he appeared to headbutt Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson whilst defending a free-kick.
