TEAMtalk sources have revealed the likelihood of the 23-year-old completing a January move to Stamford Bridge

Chelsea weighing up big-money centre-back signing in January

Chelsea are unlikely to spend huge sums in January but there is a feeling that Enzo Maresca would like another centre-back option.

Wesley Fofana is finally fit again but his previous injury problems are a concern, while Levi Colwill is potentially out for the season with an ACL injury.

Trevoh Chalobah has generally played well this term, but the likes of Tosin Adarabioyo and Benoit Badiashile don’t seem to have the full trust of Maresca, while Josh Acheampong is still a youngster (19), though undoubtedly has potential.

Murillo is on the shortlist and has been since the summer, but multiple outlets have suggested that it could take north of £70m to lure him to join them.
