The Sun says Scolari is looking to bring in the former Barcelona playmaker after losing the battle for Brazilian sensation Robinho last summer.
It is believed Dos Santos would be keen on linking up with his former Barca team-mates Deco and Juliano Belletti at Stamford Bridge.
Reports suggest the Blues are ready to make a £4million bid for Dos Santos, the same amount Spurs paid for the youngster when he joined them this summer.
