Chelsea could make bid for Tottenham defender Ben Davies - sources

Chelsea are weighing up a move for Tottenham defender Ben Davies in January, sources close to the Stamford Bridge club have told ESPN FC.

Davies, 23, is the second-choice left-back behind Danny Rose at Tottenham and has found it hard to hold down a regular place in Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI.

He can play at left-back, or on the left side of a three-man defence, impressing in the latter role as Wales reached the semifinals of Euro 2016 and sources told ESPN FC that he had been a Chelsea target during the summer transfer window.

The Blues ended up signing David Luiz and Marcos Alonso on deadline day -- but that has not ended manager Antonio Conte's interest in Davies.
