Chelsea news: Man Utd could ruin Jules Kounde bid as Blues get Ousmane Dembele boost

Manchester United could reportedly scupper Chelsea's hopes of signing Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde this summer.

The French defender has been widely linked with a move to Stamford Bridge with the Blues baulking at the player's price tag last summer. But with a transfer now able to go ahead following Todd Boehly's takeover of Chelsea, United's plans could get in the way and scupper Sevilla's hopes for Kounde's potential replacement.

It comes as the Blues have been handed a boost in their hopes of signing Ousmane Dembele, with the winger said to be mulling over an offer from Thomas Tuchel's side. Meanwhile Conor Gallagher has opened up about his Chelsea future following his season-long loan at Crystal Palace.
