Work permit issues may wreck Chelsea bid for Guilherme

Lokomotiv Moscow are inviting Chelsea to bid for goalkeeper Guilherme.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are weighing up a £3.5million move for Lokomotiv Moscow goalkeeper Guilherme.

The Premier League champions want cover for Petr Cech after failing in a bid for Asmir Begovic of Stoke and Lokomotiv, who sacked coach Yuri Syomin this week, are willing to talk.

Guilherme, 24, is a towering presence at 6ft 5ins tall but may struggle to get a work permit as the Brazilian has yet to be capped.
