Chelsea are in negotiations with Porto over Alvaro Pereira according to the players agent.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas worked with the player at the Portuguese club last season and is believed to be keen to bring Uruguay international to Stamford Bridge.
It remains to be seen whether the clubs can agree a deal before the transfer window closes tonight at 11pm.
