Chelsea and Tottenham have been dealt a transfer blow in their pursuit of Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries. The Dutch defender impressed during the World Cup in Qatar and has been linked with a switch to the Premier League.
The Blues are looking to add a new right wing-back to Graham Potter's squad given Reece James' struggles with injury this season. The England international is currently sidelined after aggravating a knee injury first sustained back in October.
Antonio Conte is keen to reunite with Dumfries as he looks to upgrade his defensive options in January. Despite signing Djed Spence in the summer, Spurs are looking to add another right wing-back to Conte's squad to improve upon their current options in that position.
