Chelsea line up Ezequeil Garay

Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Zenit St. Petersburg defender Ezequeil Garay.

The Blues are understood to be keen on signing a new central defender before the closure of the transfer window.

According to The Mail, the Premier League champions have turned their attention to Argentine defender Ezequeil Garay, as they look less likely to get a deal in for Everton's John Stones.

Garay's availability is likely to attract interest from clubs like Manchester United, who have been previously linked with the experienced centre-back.
