Chelsea have reportedly included Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann in their shortlist for the summer transfer window.

The Blues are expected to go on a transfer spree this summer as they seek to bolster their chances of challenging for the Premier League title next season.

Guus Hiddink's side had been heavily linked with a move for Everton star John Stones, but it is now known that league rivals Manchester City are in the front seat to sign the England international.

According to The Mail, the Blues are expected to look elsewhere with Eagles skipper Dann being one among their top defensive targets.

Juventus pairing of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini have also been linked with a switch to West London.
