Chelsea have been told how to complete the signing of Stuttgart left-back Borna Sosa in the upcoming transfer window, with Thomas Tuchel keen to undergo a rebuild this summer. The west Londoners are set to lose out on several defenders in the coming weeks; Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are set to leave as free agents, while Marcos Alonso has been linked to a departure.
In response to the looming exodus of options at the back, Todd Boehly's consortium, who completed a £4.25billion takeover of the west London club on Monday, are expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline. With Boehly eager to bolster the Blues' armoury, The Telegraph indicate that after player sales are taken into account, Tuchel is set to have £200million at his disposal to strengthen his side.
And, a chapter in Chelsea's reported summer transfer frenzy appears to be centred around finding an understudy for Ben Chilwell, who missed much of this season due to injury. In February, football.london reported that Sosa, who has reportedly courted the interest of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United, has been watched by Blues scouts this season to monitor his progress.
