Chelsea are reportedly keen to sign rising defensive star, Alex Johnson, from Manchester United. Sources close to the club suggest that manager Potter sees Johnson as the ideal replacement for Thiago Silva, who is nearing the end of his contract.
Johnson, 22, has been in impressive form for Manchester United's youth team, consistently demonstrating his leadership qualities and tactical awareness. Scouts have been watching his progress for several weeks, and Chelsea are now believed to be preparing a bid of around £50 million.
However, United are determined to keep Johnson on their books and are expected to offer him a new contract. The race for Johnson's signature is expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
