Chelsea reportedly want Atletico Madrid’s centre-back Diego Godin to replace skipper John Terry, should the latter leave at the end of the season.

According to AS, citing reports from England (h/t Football Espana), Godin has been isolated as a candidate to take the job on.

This season, Godin has been magnificent at the base of the Atletico Madrid side, with the team conceding a meagre 11 goals in 23 La Liga matches.
