Miranda linked with Chelsea

Inter Milan defender Miranda is reportedly the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Premier League holders are expected to bring in a new centre-back this summer following a long-term injury setback to Kurt Zouma.

Brazil international Miranda has been in fine form for the Nerazzurri, who are fighting for a spot in Europe next season.

Italian publication Corriere dello Sport suggests that the West London giants could make a swoop for Miranda, once Antonio Conte takes over the managerial reigns in the summer.

Roberto Mancini's side are said to be prepared for the player's departure with PSF Eindhoven star Jeffrey Bruma seen as a potential replacement.

The 31-year-old has made 25 league appearances for the Nerazzurri this season.
