Premier League campaigners Chelsea have reportedly made a mega million bid for Southampton defender Cedric Soares who could make a switch before the close of the transfer window.

The 25-year-old Portuguese star is one of the talented Southampton players being monitored by Italian club Juventus and Spanish side Barcelona.

But after starting the defense of their Premier League title on a disastrous note, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte wants the club to bolster his defense.

The Italian tactician believes bringing Cedric Soares to Stamford Bridge will help the Blues' campaign this term in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League.

According to the report, Southampton are said to be ready to do business with the highest bidder between Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus.
