Chelsea transfer target Marc Cucurella has been exiled from training by Brighton manager Graham Potter ahead of the start of the Premier League season.
The Blues have already completed four signings in the summer transfer window with Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Gabriel Slonina and Carney Chukwuemeka all making the move to Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel is keen to add defensive signings to his squad following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
After Chelsea missed out on securing a deal for Jules Kounde, along with failing to convince Nathan Ake to return to west London, the Blues are now targeting Cucurella as their next signing. football.london understands Chelsea have agreed a fee worth £52.5million for the Spaniard, although the deal has yet to be fully signed off by the Seagulls.
