Chelsea are eyeing Bayern Munich midfielder Luis Gustavo.
The People says Chelsea are ready to table a £15million bid for Gustavo.
Returning boss Jose Mourinho has prioritised the signing of a holding midfield player for the Stamford Bridge club.
He has doubts about John Obi Mikel's ability to play in that role.
Bayern's signing of Thiago Alcantara from Barcelona is likely to limit Gustavo's first-team opportunities this season.
