Chelsea are launching a deadline day bid for Zenit St Petersburg defender Ezequiel Garay.
Desperately looking around for an affordable centre-half signing, Chelsea are turning to former Real Madrid stopper Garay.
Sovsport says Chelsea have tabled a €20 million offer to Zenit for Garay in the last 24 hours.
However, the Russians have warned Chelsea they may need to go higher with counter offers also arriving from Inter Milan and Valencia.
For his part, Garay is excited by Chelsea's interest and favours a move to London today.
