Chelsea have been linked with a shock move for Aston Villa wing-back Alex Moreno ahead of this summer’s transfer window with Manchester City also in the mix.
The Blues are looking to sign another wing-back with Marc Cucurella, who made the move to Stamford Bridge last summer in a £60 million deal from Brighton often being deployed as a third centre-back at times this term.
With England international Ben Chilwell the only option in the left-sided wing-back role, Chelsea are expected to dip into the market this coming summer for reinforcements and have their sights on an emerging Premier League player.
According to a report from Footmercato ( via football.london), it is claimed that Villa’s Spanish defender Moreno is courting interest from Chelsea and Man City just a year into his switch to the Midlands from Real Betis.
Moreno has the ability to slot in as a left-back, left winger, or right winger and his showings in the Villa shirt this season with three assists in 16 appearances have not been unnoticed amongst England’s heavyweight clubs.
