Chelsea are expected to have a very busy summer transfer window, despite uncertainty revolving around the club's ownership, as manager Thomas Tuchel continues to shape the squad to his requirements.
One area that the Blues will definitely be looking to reinforce is their backline, especially considering the status of many first-team members currently remains uncertain.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger will both be out of contract at the end of the season, with neither at this stage looking likely to commit their long term futures at Stamford Bridge.
