Chelsea, Newcastle in competition to acquire the signature of Porto striker Luis Diaz


Chelsea and Newcastle United in contention for Porto striker Luis Diaz signature ahead of the January market.

According to Daily Express with the backing of new mega rich Saudi owners, Newcastle are now the richest club in the world - and are expected to spend big in the January transfer window to turn their season around.

The 24-year-old's £64million release clause wasn't anticipated to be a problem for the mega-rich Magpies, but news of Chelsea's interest in the striker could prove to be a major issue.

The Blues have forged a fearsome reputation in the transfer market due to managing director Marina Granovskaia, who is widely acknowledged as one of the most efficient and ruthless negotiators around.

Despite splashing out a club-record feet of £97.5m on Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku to lead their attack this summer, Chelsea are still keen on bolstering their attacking ranks.

The striker is capable of playing on the left as well as through the middle, which could explain Chelsea's interest in the Colombia international.
