Chelsea are set to increase their offer for Sevilla wing-back Daniel Alves after the Spanish club rejected an initial bid of £21.5m.

Jose Mourinho has backed claims by Daniel Alves’s agent that the Brazilian is nearing a move to Stamford Bridge.

DANIEL ALVES’ agent Geronimo Suarez is “80-90% confident” a deal can be struck between Chelsea and Sevilla for the full back.
