Chelsea send scouts to watch Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie

Exclusive: "Many clubs" from England and beyond eyeing €35-40m-rated Arsenal & Spurs transfer target

Chelsea have sent scouts to the World Cup in Qatar to take a look at Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie.

With the World Cup in full flow, many players will be playing with the thought in the back of their minds that scouts from around the globe will be in attendance.
