Chelsea to rival Juventus for Imbula

Chelsea will reportedly offer stiff competition to Juventus in the pursuit of Marseille midfielder Giannelli Imbula.

The talented midfielder was linked with a switch to the West London giants last summer, but a deal failed to materialize.

According to talkSPORT, the Blues are keen on bringing the 22-year-old to Stamford Bridge having monitored his performances at his previous club Guingamp.

The report adds that the Blues must battle it out with Juve for the young midfielder.

Imbula is currently valued at £25m by his club.
