Chelsea target Isco?

Chelsea are reportedly began talks over a potential deal for Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

The talented playmaker joined the La Liga giants from Real Sociedad in 2013, and has since then been in and out of the first-team.

Spanish sources now claim that Blues boss Jose Mourinho has urged the club's hierarchy to push through a deal for the Spain international before next week's transfer deadline.

It is added that Real would be willing to part with the midfielder for a fee in the region of £35m.
