Chelsea and Tottenham look set to battle it out over the signing of Inter defender Denzel Dumfries in the January transfer window.
The Blues are keen to sign a new right wing-back to provide competition and cover for Reece James, with the England international still recovering from a knee injury. Dumfries has similar traits and attributes to James and was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over the summer.
Antonio Conte was keen to raid his former club during the summer transfer window, but a deal for both Dumfries and Alessandro Bastoni failed to materialise. Spurs instead signed Djed Spence from Middlesbrough, but the young defender has failed to make an impact on Conte's team since signing and is expected to go out on loan in January, meaning the Lilywhites may reignite their interest in the Dutch defender.
