Super agent Jorge Mendes is ready to ferry Valencia fullback Joao Cancelo to London.

The Portugal international is a target for Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, who has made it clear he believes his squad is woefully short of numbers.

Mendes has held talks with Chelsea about a deal for Cancelo and negotiations are developing positively.

The agent is eager to place Cancelo at Stamford Bridge to mend bridges after the behaviour of Diego Costa this summer.

For his part, Cancelo is eager to see the move happen after a difficult past year at Los Che.
