Chelsea manager Andres Vilas-Boas is to return to his former club Porto with a bid for Joao Moutinho, as he tries to bring some midfield creativity in for his new club, the Daily Mail reports.
The Blues' move for Luka Modric has lost momentum in the past week, with Spurs maintaining the tough stance they have employed over the sale of their star player all summer.
This has led the Chelsea boss to look elsewhere to bring in the midfield spark he craves, and knows Moutinho well from his time coaching him at Porto.
However any potential move could be complicated by the player's economic rights being owned by a third party, and with little time left in the current transfer window, Chelsea would have to move fast for the player.
Moutinho was a key part of Vilas-Boas' Porto side who won three trophies last season, including the UEFA Europa League.
