Chelsea are reportedly ready to make a move to replace Levi Colwill, after the England international suffered a devastating ACL injury.
The 22-year-old defender, fresh from a breakthrough season in which he made 43 appearances across all competitions, sustained the injury during the Blues' first training session back in pre-season.
Colwill has since undergone successful surgery and begun his rehabilitation, but his absence leaves a huge gap in Enzo Maresca's defensive options.
Indeed, Chelsea have set their sights on Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, according to local outlet Football Espana.
