Chelsea warned against transfer of World Cup star amid Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech links

Chelsea have been warned against signing Mexico winger Alexis Vega after the 25-year-old impressed in Qatar. His side weren't able to get through the group stage after a dramatic final matchday involving eventual winners Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Poland.

Whilst Mexico were beating Saudi Arabia, Lionel Messi and Co were putting Poland to the sword but it wasn't enough to get Vega through to the knockout stage with goal difference separating the two sides. During an enthralling final half there was even a chance that yellow cards and disciplinary might be the only thing separating the two sides.

It wasn't to be for the North Americans though and Vega was sent back to his home country for club duty with Guadalajara. His work in the shop window was done during the month of internationals though, with Chelsea reportedly liking what they saw.
