Big Premier League club rival Real Madrid for 'next Varane' — Romano

Chelsea are rivalling Real Madrid for the signature of Leny Yoro, Fabrizio Romano says.

Chelsea have the French centre-back on their radar while PSG may be prepared to pay his €40m market value, according to Romano, Real Madrid are still the favourite to sign the talented defender.

Yoro has been dubbed the 'next Rafa Varane' for his aggressive style of defending and his powerful ability in the air. He's also a super ball player with impressive technical abilities despite being just 18.

The youngster has helped his club record 19 clean sheets this season.

Here's Yoro scoring one of his brilliant aerial goals this season. He has three in 35 appearances.

Real Madrid are keen on signing a defender next summer with Nacho on his last legs and David Alaba becoming injury-prone.
