The west Londoners have reportedly tabled a £43million offer for the Mexico international – who is keen to move to Stamford Bridge.

And Alvarez has reportedly SKIPPED training in an attempt to force through a last-ditch move to west London.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claim the 24-year-old has “refused to train” in order to force the hand of the Ajax brass.

Alvarez is said to be hopeful of Ajax entertaining the Premier League side’s offer so he can fulfil his “dream” move.
