Chelsea have been sent a “warning” from Jules Kounde’s representatives over the delay in completing a move for the Sevilla defender, according to reports. The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the past year, but a deal hasn’t quite materialised yet.
However, since then, the Blues are in desperate need of change throughout their squad. Thomas Tuchel ’s side started last campaign strongly, but faded towards the end, rounding out a disappointing finish.
A number of key players have left too, with a squad refresh on the horizon for the German coach in wake of Todd Boehly ’s completed takeover of the club. On the task ahead, he said: “We are rebuilding, not improving the squad. We are rebuilding. This is always challenging but we are up for the challenge.”
