Chelsea have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in January.

There remains speculation surrounding the futures of Jorginho and N’Golo Kante at Stamford Bridge. Their respective contracts expire at the end of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Denis Zakaria has not been able to appear for the club so far and his loan spell from Juventus could be terminated at the turn of the year.

Hence, the Blues must strengthen their midfield in the mid-season and Goal Brazil claim that Newcastle United attacker Bruno Guimaraes is a leading target for the board.

The Magpies only signed the Brazilian from Lyon last winter. He has been in impressive form with 10 goals from 27 appearances.

The 24-year-old has also excelled in his skills. There are no surprises that the west Londoners are interested, but it could take a massive bid of around £100m to test the club’s resolve in the January transfer window.
