Chelsea have been handed a fresh boost in their transfer pursuit of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde at the end of the season.
football.london understands that the Blues were interested in signing the 23-year-old during the summer transfer window but they were unable to reach an agreement with his current employers, Sevilla, over a fee.
Marca recently reported that Chelsea are 'convinced' that they can lure Kounde away from the Seville-based club at the end of the season as the west Londoners look to bolster their defensive options.
