Andre Villlas-Boas' top targets
ABOVE: Sergio Aguero is the son-in-law of Diego Maradona

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS could be looking to sign:

Sergio Aguero

Atletico Madrid’s Argentine striker, 23, is the son-in-law of Diego Maradona. Already told the club he wants to leave, with Juventus now favourites. Chelsea made an offer last week after discovering he has a £45m buy-out clause.

Fabio Coentrao

Benfica’s left-back/left-winger, 23, is rated one of the best youngsters in Europe after his notable 2010 World Cup performances. Value: £26m.

Falcao

Porto’s Colombian, 25, striker has already expressed his wish to join his old boss and has a £26m buy-out clause in his contract. 38 goals in 42 games last season. What will happen to Fernando Torres if he arrives?

Luka Modric

Spurs have already turned down a £22m bid from Chelsea. Expect them to increase it for the attacking Croatia midfield player. Value: £30m plus.

Joao Moutinho

Porto’s Portugal international midfield player is in the mould of Xavi and Iniesta. At 24, he has already played 190 league games and won every domestic trophy in Portugal, as well as the Europa League. Villas-Boas made him Porto’s landmark signing when he took charge 12 months ago, effectively paving the way for Raul Meireles to join Liverpool. Value: Has £36m release clause.

HULK

Porto’s Brazilian striker or winger, 24, was top scorer in the league last season with 23 goals – seven more than team-mate Falcao. Would be an ideal replacement for Didier Drogba. Reports say he has an £87m release clause but more likely worth £5m.

Rolando

Like John Terry, Rolando, 19, is the bedrock of Porto’s defence. Wanted by European clubs including Juventus and Roma. Chelsea made enquires in 2010 before moving for David Luiz. Like Man United’s Nani, he was born in Cape Verde but represents Portugal after emigrating as a youngster and gaining their nationality. Value: £18m.

Neymar

The Brazilian wonderkid, 19, is already subject of £23m Chelsea bid. Santos want double that. Chelsea officials are in South America trying to secure a deal. Value: Name your price.HIS TOP
