Chelsea step up David Alaba interest
Chelsea are reportedly interested in a £60m move to sign Bayern Munich defender David Alaba, according to The Sunday Mirror.
The Blues are keeping tabs on the Austria international as they ponder a swoop to bring the defender to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is keen to improve the left side of his defence because both Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso have failed to win over the English boss.
The report says that Alaba has less than two years remaining on his contract with the Bavarians, and the west London outfit are looking to see whether they can tempt him into moving to the Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old has scored one goal and registered one assist in 12 Bundesliga appearances for the Germans so far this season.
Chelsea are likely to be linked with a number of players this month as they look to revamp their squad after having their two-window transfer ban lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
