Chelsea are monitoring the situation of Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi ahead of the summer transfer window as they prepare for a busy summer. The Blues are set to make a host of signings this summer but the Morocco international has emerged as a surprise target.
Thomas Tuchel has cancelled his summer holiday in order to devote his attentions to summer preparations. He has already confirmed that Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen will leave this summer but there could be more big name departures too with the futures of Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta up in the air.
As such, it is no surprise that a number of the world's best defensive talents have been linked with moves to Stamford Bridge. Centre-backs Jules Kounde and Josko Gvardiol are two of their priority signings but bringing in reinforcements for both Reece James and Ben Chilwell at wing-back is also of high importance.
