Alex Telles opts for Inter instead of Stamford Bridge

Chelsea have reportedly missed out on the opportunity to sign Alex Telles from Galatasaray 

The Blues were supposedly chasing the left-back for the majority of the summer, as manager Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen in defence.

But instead he was revealed as an Inter Milan player as part of a last-minute hattrick of signings for the Italian side.

Spanish newspaper Deportivo Mundo claim Chelsea were keeping tabs on the full-back.

The Premier League champions brought in Baba Rahman to replace Filipe Luis this summer.

They turned their attention to alternative transfer targets after seeing a £34million bid for England centre-back John Stones rejected by Everton.
