Blues in race to sign Fiorentina defender
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea have joined the race with Manchester United and Liverpool to sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.
The Italian outlet states that United and the Reds have been tracking Milenkovic for months now, but the Blues should not be underestimated either.
The 23-year-old's contract in Florence is due to expire next summer, so the Serie A club could be keen to sell him in the upcoming transfer window.
The report claims that Chelsea's interest will depend on Fikayo Tomori's situation - with the English defender currently on loan at AC Milan.
If Tomori does return to Stamford Bridge, then Thomas Tuchel won't look to sign another centre-back in the summer.
Rice's one-word verdict on Mount
Declan Rice has hailed Mason Mount as "unbelievable" after the midfielder opened the scoring in Chelsea's 2-0 Champions League quarter-final win over Porto.
Mount scored with a fantastic strike as the Blues netted two away goals at the neutral ground in Seville.
The 22-year-old struck for the eighth time this season as he continues his sensational campaign for the west London club.
Rice, who is close friends with Mount after playing alongside him in Chelsea's academy, lauded his England team-mate.
Responding to a post by SportBible praising Mount on Instagram, Rice simply responded with one word: "Unbelievable."

Jorginho makes transfer admission after Porto win
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho admitted that he would like to return to Napoli later in his career, just moments after his side's 2-0 win over Porto.
The Italian midfielder starred in the Blues' Champions League victory over the Portuguese side.
But the former Napoli man hinted at a possible return to Naples one day when asked about it following the match.
After receiving the man-of-the-match award from UEFA, Jorginho said in an interview with Sky Italia that he could be keen on a return to Naples if the opportunity arose.
"When you live in Naples you can never forget," he said during a post-match interview. "I had a wonderful experience and I am very fond of the city and the fans.
“Now honestly, I’m not thinking about it because my concentration is all on Chelsea. However, if there is the possibility, one day, you don’t know when, to return, of course, I’d like it.”
