Chelsea track Ruben Neves

Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on the performances of Porto star Ruben Neves with a view to a January offer for his services.

The 18-year-old had attracted interest from top sides in Europe during the summer transfer window.

However, Portuguese publication A Bola cites that the Blues have been the first to make an approach for the youngster.

It is added that Jose Mourinho had sent his scouts to track the talented midfielder ahead of the Blues encounter against his former club in the Champions League.

Real Madrid are also keen on the young playmaker, who currently has a £29m release clause in his contract.
