Chelsea have been handed a major transfer boost in their pursuit to sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde despite interest from Barcelona.
The Blues have already signed Kalidou Koulibaly this summer to strengthen their defensive options ahead of next season. The Senegal international became the club's second summer signing as Todd Boehly's era as owner begins.
Chelsea have spent around £80million on Raheem Sterling and Koulibaly and are now looking to prioritise two more defensive signings before the Blues' season opener against Everton. football.london understands Chelsea are in talks to sign Presnel Kimpembe from Paris Saint-Germain and have reignited their interest in signing Kounde after missing out on Nathan Ake this summer.
