Chelsea look to have accelerated their pursuit of signing a new centre-half amid continued uncertainty regarding the futures of Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, according to various reports.
As things stand, the trio will leave the club at the end of the season, with new agreements yet to be reached.
As per German journalist Christian Falk, promising signals have come out of the Germany international's camp, suggesting that Rudiger is making it a 'priority' to stay at Chelsea beyond this season.
