Chelsea are reportedly alongside Newcastle United in pursuing the transfer of talented young Benfica defender Tomas Araujo, who has shone in the Portuguese league.
Araujo has been linked with Chelsea before, with Fabrizio Romano indicating that he is a player the Blues really like.
With the loss of experienced defender Thiago Silva, Chelsea's current squad has a notable weakness in defence that needs addressing immediately.
Newcastle could also be an appealing project for Araujo, as their recent Champions League appearances contrast with Chelsea's recent struggles.
