Murillo is going to be a leading contender for Chelsea, Mick Brown told Football Insider. He doesn't always look the part, he's not particularly tall and he's got a bit of a stocky frame, but he's very, very effective on the ground and in the air. He brings a stability and aggression to the Forest team which has made him a massive player for them in the heart of their defence with the players around him.

The Blues had been monitoring Guehi's situation closely, given his background at the Cobham Academy and his impending contract expiry at Crystal Palace next summer. However, with the England international now tipped for a move to Liverpool or Real Madrid, Chelsea have shifted their focus toward Murillo, a player who has been on their radar since the summer. Under the management of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea continue to reshape their squad as they aim to build a Premier League title winning team.
