How Chelsea can line up with Wesley Fofana and Denzel Dumfries transfers as £104m swoop eyed

Chelsea's summer transfer window continues to twist and turn as more defenders are linked following the failed bid to bring Jules Kounde to Stamford Bridge.

At one point last week, Kounde looked set to move to the Premier League after the Blues had agreed to a verbal £55million deal for the Sevilla star plus personal terms which were agreed a while ago. However, the 23-year-old's heart was set on Barcelona after another influential call with manager Xavi, and this has culminated in the Blaugrana now set to heap more transfer misery on Chelsea this summer following the Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha sagas.

With this in mind, new owner Todd Boehly is being forced to look elsewhere and a host of names have popped up including the likes of Presnel Kimpembe, Pau Torres and Josko Gvardiol. But three names in particular are currently being linked to a Stamford Bridge: Wesley Fofana, Milan Skriniar and Denzel Dumfries.
