Pau Torres linked with Chelsea

Chelsea's eyes are many and very exquisite. The London side are experts in searching a large part of the world's football markets and looking for gems that will shine in the near future.

And, according to the 'Daily Mail', the next player could be in La Liga. According to this source, the Blues are after Pau Torres, a CB who has won a spot in the Villarreal defence.

At 23 years old, Pau is experiencing his first season as a starter at Villarreal. After a loan at Malaga, he has now played 31 matches for the Yellow Submarine this season.

This hasn't gone unnoticed for a Chelsea who are looking to rejuvenate their defence. However, in order to do so, they will have to dig into their pockets, as the player has a 45 million euro release clause.

After leaving behind the FIFA ban, the Blues aren't wasting time and are already thinking about completing what would be their third signing after Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech. But they are not alone in this, as Barca and Arsenal, among others, are also following the evolution of the centre-back.
