Arsenal and Chelsea have learned that Inter will only sell Denzel Dumfries in the January transfer window if a huge offer arrives. The Dutch international has been at the centre of talk surrounding a potential move to the Premier League with Inter still struggling financially.
Following the injury to Reece James, Dumfries, who was a target of Chelsea in the summer, re-emerged as a potential January acquisition for the Blues with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter both struggling to find a suitable alternative who was able to provide the same stability at wing-back as James.
After impressing for Inter in Serie A, Dumfries was included in the Netherlands 26-man World Cup squad and given the opportunity to impress any potential suitors ahead of a possible January move. Following a relatively quite group stage, he was the star of the show in the Dutch's 3-1 last-16 win over the USMNT where he grabbed two assists and one goal.
