Premier League trio Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Benfica right-back Nelson Semedo.

The 22-year-old made his debut for the club in their 1-0 Portuguese Super Cup defeat by Sporting Lisbon in August, having previously made 59 appearances for Benfica B.

Semedo has made nine appearances for the Eagles this season, scoring one goal, and the Lisbon-born defender made his first international appearance for Portugal in their 2-1 win over Serbia on October 11.

According to Portuguese news outfit O Jogo, City, Chelsea and Arsenal are amongst a host of clubs that are interested in the player, including Inter Milan.

Semedo's Benfica are currently third in the Primeira Liga table, with 21 points from their opening 10 matches.
