Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas is looking to step up his pursuit of a defender and is keeping tabs on Atletico Madrid's Diego Godwin.
According to reports in The Sun, Chelsea will raise the money for Godwin by selling Brazilian defender Alex.
Both Tottenham and Arsenal have shown an interest in signing Alex when the transfer window re-opens which would enable the west London club to make their move for the Uruguay international.
In the past former Stamford Bridge boss Carlo Ancelotti had a £15million bid for Godwin rejected last January.
However it is believed the new Chelsea manager is preparing to go back in for the 25-year-old when the transfer window opens in the New Year with a bid in the region of £20m.
