Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign Napoli full-back Elseid Hysaj, according to a report on The Sun.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in the 24-year-old Albanian who has a £43.72million release clause.

The report claims Chelsea are closest to sealing a deal for Hysaj after meeting his agent on several occasions.

Hysaj is a versatile player who is most comfortable at right back but can also play as a left-back.
