​Abramovich link gives Chelsea advantage in pursuit of Alex Telles

Chelsea may still have a chance of nabbing Alex Telles from under the noses of PSG.

The Brazilian left-back is a wanted man this summer. His Porto contract expires next summer and the club want to sell him to make a good profit.

A deal to take him to PSG was thought to be agreed.

However, Le10Sport in France suggest Chelsea are now narrow favourites to land the player.

And Telles is now represented by Pini Zahavi, a super agent who is very close to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, according to The Daily Express.

That connection may be what Chelsea need to get the transfer over the line.

Chelsea badly want a left-back this summer, as both Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri are likely to be sold.
