Chelsea 'in advanced transfer talks with Sergio Reguilon with finishing touches just left on deal from Real Madrid'

CHELSEA are in advanced talks to sign Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilon, according to reports.

It is no secret the Blues are trying to sign a left-back and Frank Lampard's side have been strongly linked with Leicester star Ben Chilwell.

But the Foxes demands of £80million plus for the England ace may have made a move impossible and caused the West London side to look elsewhere.

ESPN reports the negotiations to bring Reguilon from the Bernabeu to Stamford Bridge are at an advanced stage with just the finishing touches required.
