Chelsea are set to compete with Real Madrid for Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva, according to reports.

talkSPORT, citing stories in Spain, suggest that the Blues will push to try and sign the 21 year-old at the expense of their Spanish rivals.

Lucas came to prominence at Cruzeiro last season, when he made 23 appearances to help A Raposa win the 2013 Brasileirão title.

This term, the Brazil under-23 international has featured a further 19 times, with Cruzeiro on course to retain their crown.

Lucas has a contract with the Belo Horizonte based club until June 2017, but with Real and now Chelsea on his trail, it is possible that he could be moving on in the near future.
