Chelsea are monitoring contract talks between Roma and their centre back Philippe Mexes.
The France defender, 28, is free to talk to foreign clubs from January 1 because his deal runs out next summer and a new one has yet to be agreed.
Mexes has captained France recently and is one of the candidates to keep the armband permanently under Laurent Blanc.
Having started just 17 games under Claudio Ranieri last season, the defender was the subject of several bids from leading Serie A clubs over the summer, including AC Milan. (Daily Mail)

Mexes has been linked with a move away from Roma for many years, but has always remained loyal to the club. AC Milan, Arsenal and Manchester United are just a few of the clubs that are thought to have registered an interest in the defender previously.
Now though, as his contract looks set to expire, the France international seems like he finally may be ready to move on, and Chelsea appear to be the favourites for his signature.
Mexes is a no-nonsense defender and has all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League. After losing Ricardo Carvalho over the summer, Chelsea would welcome the chance of adding an experienced player to their back line
