Report: Chelsea consider Victor Lindelof move

Chelsea could move for Benfica defender Victor Lindelof this summer as Blues boss Antonio Conte targets a new centre-back, according to a report.

Chelsea are reportedly considering a £25m move for Benfica defender Victor Lindelof this summer.

The Premier League giants are widely expected to move for at least one new centre-back in this transfer window and have thus far been frustrated in their pursuit of Juventus's Leonardo Bonucci.

According to The Mirror, Blues boss Antonio Conte is ready to drop his interest in Bonucci and could instead pursue Lindelof, who was linked with a move to Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old joined Benfica from Vasteras SK in 2012 and initially represented the Portuguese side's B team, before stepping into the first-team picture in 2015. Last summer, the Sweden international extended his contract with Benfica until the summer of 2020.
