Chelsea interested in Roma shot-stopper

AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Cheslea during this summer's transfer window.

The Brazil international has attracted plenty of transfer interest over the past few weeks and the Blues have joined the pursuit of his services.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the west London giants are aware of Los Blancos' evident interest in Thibaut Courtois and the Belgian's departure to the Bernabeu may enhance their pursuit of Alisson.

It is added that incoming Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is said to be a huge admirer of Alisson after having watched him closely in the Serie A and the Brazilian could head to Stamford Bridge ahead of next term.

Premier League rivals Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Alisson but his £70m price tag appears to have switched their attention to Thomas Strakosha, who plys his trade for Roma's fierce rivals Lazio.
