Chelsea are extremely busy in the summer transfer window as new owner Todd Boehly tries to provide Thomas Tuchel with the best squad possible.
The Blues are desperate for defenders following the losses of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger on free transfers at the end of June. Their search for centre-backs has proven difficult so far, but they have reportedly settled on a new target following some setbacks.
Tuchel will lead his team in a final pre-season friendly against Udinese on Friday, but he is currently enjoying some time off and has been pictured with a new girlfriend in Sardinia.
