Chelsea are reportedly keen to sign Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes this summer.
According to Andre Rizek, a well-respected presenter from SporTV, as reported by Globo Esporte, the Blues had officials watching the player in action against Boca Juniors recently.
Speaking about the Blues’ interest, Rizek said:
Chelsea are impressed with the player.
He added:
And it is possible that this year we will have another Brazilian player going to play in a club in England.
It is claimed that the Blues will look to hijack Shakhtar Donetsk’s move for the player and bring him to England.
This is not the first time that the Premier League side have kept a close eye on talents coming through in South America.
The likes of Nathan, Oscar and Wallace were signed from Brazil, all with varying degrees of success in London.
Guimaraes, a midfielder capable of playing in both defensive and attacking roles, currently plays his football for Athletico Paranaense, the same club that Chelsea signed Nathan from in 2015.
