London side Chelsea are keeping close tabs on Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes for the summer move, as per Daily Mirror.
The Mirror reported that the 21-year-old midfielder is one of the top young midfielders of 2014-2015 season. He has been eyed by top European sides including Chelsea.
The former Benfica midfielder signed a long term deal in the start of this year which has a release clause of €50 million.
Gomes was singed on a loan deal and his consistent performance in the Spanish League could not stop the La Liga side Valencia to seal his permanent deal in January.
The 21-year-old has scored four goals in 24 La Liga games for Valencia this season.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in his move, however, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is confident that he will secure his summer deal.
Valencia are keen to keep their star player but a big fee as expected from the Blues will change their mind.
On the other hand, Lazio star Felipe Anderson is also being eyed by Chelsea. They are hoping a €16 million deal for the 21-year-old.
Anderson has scored nine goals in 13 Serie A starts for Lazio this season.
