Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is hoping to land Barcelona whizkid Sergi Roberto for £5 million.
The Daily Mail says the Blues boss has been impressed by summer signing Oriol Romeu and Roberto is another product of Barca's famous youth academy.
The 19-year-old is a Spain Under 21 international and is valued at around £5million but Barcelona would demand a buy-back option if they were to sell.
Andre Villas-Boas is happy to put his faith in young players and gave Romeu his first Premier League start of the season in Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolves.
