Chelsea given Jules Kounde transfer boost despite ongoing talks amid takeover solution

Chelsea have been handed a huge transfer boost in their ongoing pursuit of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. The 23-year-old centre-back has long been linked with a move to West London with the Blues once again stepping up their interest in the player.

Kounde, who is under contract with the Rojiblancos until June of 2024 is thought to been heavily keen on making the switch this summer, with current defender Antonio Rudiger said to be on his way out of the club.

Thomas Tuchel's side are of course in the midst of takeover talks due to sanctions on current Russian owner Roman Abramovich, with three interested parties now said to have presented evidence of their own bid's to buy the club from him.
