Chelsea in for Isco?

Chelsea are reportedly close to agreeing a summer deal for Real Madrid star Isco.

The Spain international was in top form for the former European champions, following a dismal first season with the Bernabeu outfit.

The Blues have had an initial offer of £20m rejected by Los Blancos for the talented playmaker, but reports in Spain cite that manager Jose Mourinho has told the club's hierarchy to up their offer to land the 23-year-old's signature before the start of the new league campaign.

Isco joined Real Madrid from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2013.
