Chelsea increase pressure to sign Brazilian goalkeeper

Chelsea have increased pressure to sign Athletico Paranaense goalkeeper Bento amid interest from Inter Milan.

The Blues currently have Djordje Petrovic between the sticks, but he could be replaced by a new signing this summer.

Petrovic took over from Robert Sanchez halfway into the campaign and he was brilliant during the first few months.

However, his performances have been far from convincing in recent weeks. He has made several goalkeeping errors.

As a result, the Blues are lining up a new shot-stopper and TMW claim that they have increased the pressure to land Bento.

Inter Milan are also firm admirers of the Brazil international, but the Blues are working hard to prise him away first.

The San Siro giants are unlikely to compete financially with the Blues and this could be a clear advantage in the race for Bento's services.

Bento recently made his international debut for Brazil against England at the Wembley Stadium after injuries to Alisson and Ederson.
