Not Rahman- Chelsea set to bring in South American defensive reinforcement

Last updated : 28 July 2015 By DSG

Jose Mourinho will need to fill the void left by Filipe Luis with the defender set to return to Atletico Madrid after just one season at Stamford Bridge.

The West London club will likely make a loss on the player with Atletico offering £11million for Luis, nearly £5million less than the £15.8million that Chelsea originally paid.

The Blues were linked with Augsberg defensive talent Abdul Rahman Baba, but information from football journalist Gianluca DiMarzio suggests that the London club are in fact closer to signing Telles, and not Baba.

22-year-old Telles is highly-rated and is tipped for big things, being linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid before Chelsea.

The offensive full-back is known for his skill, speed and vision whilst maintaining defensive diligence.
