Chelsea are believed to be targeting Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Premier League champions are contemplating a summer move for the 26-year old Belgian centre-back who spent last season on loan at Southampton.

Alderweireld is keen to remain in England's top flight and could be back at St Mary's on a permanent basis if the Saints take up the option to purchase him for £7million.

However, Chelsea have now entered the equation as they look to offload Filipe Luis who made just 26 appearances in all competitions for the west London club after joining from Atletico last summer.

It is believed that Manchester City and Tottenham are both showing interest in Alderweireld.
