Chelsea make enquiry for Valencia right back Joao Cancelo as rivals Tottenham cool their interest
- Joao Cancelo had been expected to join Juventus in a deal worth £25million
- The Valencia defender has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Tottenham
- The Blues could now swoop for the 23-year-old, who is a Portugal international
- Antonio Conte has also made a move for Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Chelsea have expressed interest in Valencia full back Joao Cancelo.
The 23-year-old had been expected to join Juventus after Tottenham cooled their interest at the weekend but Chelsea have asked about his situation too as they search for a new wing back.
They remain in contact with Paris Saint-Germain over Serge Aurier but his move could hinge on his pending court case.

The Blues have also submitted a £25million bid for Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has just a year left on his contract.
The versatile Englishman has excelled in a wing back role recently and could fit into Antonio Conte's preferred 3-4-3 formation.
Valencia need to sell to fund rebuilding and have also looked to offload central defenders Ezequiel Garay and Aymen Abdennour this summer.

Cancelo has been a priority for Juventus, who are looking to replace Dani Alves, and the Serie A champions are prepared to pay £25m for the defender, who represented Portugal at this summer's Under 21 European Championships.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are sweating on the ankle injury that Kieran Trippier sustained in the friendly win against Juventus.
The England full back will definitely miss Spurs' opening game of the season against Newcastle, meaning Mauricio Pochettino will start the new campaign with Kyle Walker-Peters as his only recognised right back.
