Chelsea target Ilaix spotted in London as Barcelona push for top price

Chelsea have emerged as favourites to land Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba.

Inside the final year of his contract, the 18 year-old is up for sale at Barca after refusing to consider new terms.

Mundo Deportivo says he was seen in London over this weekend in what was, presumably, a short break to negotiate with the Blues.

If Thomas Tuchel‘s men are to be successful in their bid for Moriba then they will need to see off the challenge from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, where he is more likely to be given first-team minutes than at Stamford Bridge.

Though Barca are more likely to negotiate with Chelsea than Leipzig due to their financial capabilities, essentially they are more likely to match their £20million asking price.
