Chelsea to battle Leicester City and Crystal Palace for Mexican talent Edson Alvarez

Chelsea are in line to face competition from Premier League duo Leicester City and Crystal Palace for Mexican talent Edson Alvarez.

According to reports from Football Insider, it is claimed that the Stamford Bridge giants have thrown their hat in the ring for the Ajax youngster Alvarez who has earned rave reviews for his displays in the Dutch top flight.

The defensive midfield man could be earning his ticket to the Premier League with the likes of Leicester City and Crystal Palace joining Chelsea in the race for 24-year-old Alvarez.

Ajax are understood to be reluctant on parting ways with their star first-teamer but a sizable bid coming their way would be difficult to turn down despite Alvarez establishing himself as a key name on the team sheet for the club.

Chelsea are set to find themselves in the transfer market for a new midfield recruit with speculation rife that loan signing Saul Niguez will return to La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid following his season-long stint at the Bridge coming to an end this summer.
