Chelsea ready bid for Neves

Chelsea have reportedly set their sights on signing Porto sensation Ruben Neves next summer.

The 18-year-old is thought to have caught the eye of manager Jose Mourinho after helping his club to a 2-1 victory over the Blues in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

London Evening Standard reveals that Mourinho was impressed by Neves' showing, and is now ready to pay big to land the player's services at the end of the current campaign.

European giants Real Madrid are also understood to be tracking the young playmaker, who has a release clause of around £29m on his existing contract.
