CHELSEA are reportedly chasing a late deal for Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic.
The Mirror via TMW claims the Blues are plotting to make a move for the Serbia international as transfer deadline day approaches.
Subotic is out of favour at Dortmund and has made just six Bundesliga appearances for them in the last two seasons.

The 28-year-old spent part of the last campaign on loan at Cologne and is sure to jump at the chance of a switch to the Premier League champs.
However, Chelsea are believed to face stiff competition from a number of other English sides including Liverpool.
Subotic won two German league titles under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance between 2010 and 2012.
And he may decide an Anfield move is the better option should there also be an offer of regular football on the table.
But Subotic could ultimately end up snubbing both Chelsea and Liverpool, with a number of other Premier League teams in the running.
