Chelsea to offer Filipe Luis in Koke deal?

Chelsea could consider the option of using Filipe Luis as make-weight in a deal to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke at the end of the season.

Luis joined the Blues from Atleti last summer, and has since then failed to convince manager Jose Mourinho of his abilities.

With Cesar Azpilicueta being given the left-back role on a regular basis, Luis is likely to exit Stamford Bridge at the end of the current campaign.

According to London Evening Standard, the Premier League toppers will offer Luis back to Atleti as part of a deal to bring Koke to Stamford Bridge this summer.

The report adds that the West London giants are confident that they would manage to get a deal done for Koke on a fee below his current release clause of £48m.
