Football London reports that the west Londoners have already bolstered their forward options following the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.

However, they could further improve their squad with the addition of Dybala, who was impressive for Roma last season.

The former Juventus ace was involved in 19 goals in his maiden campaign with the Jose Mourinho-tutored side.

Silva wants Dybala at Chelsea

Silva has further fueled speculation that Dybala is a wanted man at Stamford Bridge after revealing he has spoken with the Argentine over a possible move.

Metro UK reports that Dybala is currently in England on holiday and has been taking in some huge sporting events.

The Argentina international has since linked up with Silva, with the Brazilian defender expressing his desire to play with the forward at Chelsea.

"I saw Paulo Dybala here, they [the media] talk about him coming to Chelsea," Silva told Sky Sport Italia, via Metro UK.
"I’ve talked with him and asked him if he is coming. He is a world-class player," he added.

Mourinho on Dybala joining Chelsea

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho has broken his silence on reports that Chelsea are looking to sign Paulo Dybala this summer.

Dybala has spent just one season with Roma, having joined them in the summer of 2022 from Serie A rivals Juventus.

Reports claim the Blues are leading the race to sign the Argentine forward in the coming weeks.
