It could be yet another busy transfer window for Chelsea this summer.
The Blues have a number of first-team players with uncertain futures, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen all out of contract this summer and the trio don't look likely at this stage to commit their long term futures to the club.
With that in mind, it's expected that manager Thomas Tuchel will attempt to strengthen his backline with individuals who are tailored to his style of football.
