Chelsea rival Liverpool for Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo

Chelsea have made a move for Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo.

The Daily Express says the Argentine defender has caught the eye at the World Cup, with Liverpool thought to be lining up a £12m bid for the defender.

Barcelona and Juventus are also thought to be interested, but reports in Portugal now suggest that Chelsea have also emerged as a suitor.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho remains in the market for a new left-back after cutting loose Ashley Cole.
