    Chelsea could be set to snatch Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels from Manchester United, according to Metro.

    The German central defender has long been linked with a move away from Dortmund and those reports have now gathered pace as Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal continues to look for a new central defender.

    It was reported in January that Hummels, had agreed in principle a move to Old Trafford for the summer, although those reports are yet to be confirmed by either club.

    And, it is now being reported that Chelsea are ready to make a summer move.

    The Blues are willing to pay anything up-to £37m for the German World Cup winner and believe he will choose them over Man United.
