Chelsea track Miranda

Chelsea are hopeful of sealing a deal for Brazilian defender Miranda from Atletico Madrid this summer, The Mirror reports.

The talented centre-back has been linked with a switch away from the Basque outfit, with his existing deal set to expire at the end of next season.

According to The Mirror, the Premier League toppers will be hoping to land the player's signature on a cut-price deal when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

The Blues are believed to have monitored Miranda's performances for Atleti in recent weeks.
