Chelsea are set to go head-to-head with Manchester City to land Aston Villa midfielder James Milner, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Milner, 24, enjoyed a breakthrough season last term and lifted the Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year award. His 12 assists and seven goals have piqued the interest of both clubs as they begin their plans for the summer transfer window.
City were believed to be favourites for the World Cup star's signature and were reported to have agreed an £80,000-a-week, four-year contract with his representatives. Chelsea could yet rumble the Eastlands club, however, and are able to offer Champions League football after scooping the league title.
