Chelsea are reported to be ready to move in and try to hijack Manchester United’s quest for Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier. According to the portal Le10Sport, the Premier League champions have now entered the race for the 24-year-old with United’s interest looking to have cooled.
 

After reports surfaced that a deal for the player was close, boss Jose Mourinho described those reports as “overstated” claiming that his priority remains a forward player and not a new full-back. The Manchester Evening News writes that the Portuguese tactician still has his heart set on Ivan Perisic despite reports today that Inter Milan are ready to tempt the 28-year-old Croatian with a new deal.
 

Aurier meanwhile, is banned from entering the UK after being charged for attacking a doorman at a Paris nightclub last September. Because of this, he was unable to travel with the rest of squad for last season’s Champions League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
