Man Utd, Chelsea chasing Everton fullback Coleman

Everton fullback Seamus Coleman is a target for Manchester United and Chelsea.

The Daily Express says according to various reports, Jose Mourinho and Louis Van Gaal are both big fans of the 25-year-old, and are ready to launch £20million bids for his services.

Chelsea were believed to be closing in on the signing of Barcelona's Dani Alves, whose contract expires at the end of the season, but Spanish media claims the Brazil international is now planning to stay at the Nou Camp and fight for an extension.

United were keen on landing Coleman during the summer, but a swap-deal involving former Toffee Marouane Fellaini failed to materialise.

However, Everton boss Roberto Martinez is desperate to keep the right-back on Merseyside, and will be relieved that the player is tied down to contract expiring in 2019.
