Chelsea are willing to break the bank to prise Alex Sandro away from Juventus.

El Mundo Deportivo says Chelsea are prepared to fork out £70m in January to finally sign No.1 target Sandro.

Juventus held firm during the summer as the Blues pursued the left wing-back.

No replacement was brought in either, meaning Cesar Azpilicueta has been utilised on the left to give Marcos Alonso time to rest.

However, Chelsea are ready to go back in for Sandro and spend big.
