Chelsea will consider making an offer for Atletico Paranaense youngster Bruno Guimaraes.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are exploring the possibility of signing Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes this summer if they can escape their pending transfer ban.

The 21-year-old holding player has been outstanding for Athletico Paranaense this season and is tipped to earn a call-up to the national side.

Guimaraes has a Spanish passport and a release clause set at £34.5million.

Chelsea scouts have watched him in recent games and are contemplating an offer.
