Chelsea are among several clubs poised to make a late move for Borussia Dortmund star defender Neven Subotic.
According to the Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, five Premier League clubs – including the Blues and Liverpool – are chasing the Serbia international.
Meanwhile, Fotospor states that Turkish Super League giants Trabzonspor are also in the race to sign Subotic. Per the source, Trabzon have been in talks with Subotic’s representatives.

Liverpool will be hoping Subotic’s relationship with manager Jurgen Klopp will hand them an advantage. The Serbia international won two Bundesliga titles under Klopp between 2010 and 2012.
The 28-year-old is expected to leave Dortmund this summer. The German club are looking to cash in on Subotic before his contract expires next summer.
Dortmund take on Freiburg in their next Bundesliga fixture on September 9.
