Chelsea are interested in signing Jonathan Clauss from Lens this summer. That's according to a report from GOAL, who say that the 29-year-old right-back is available for as little as £10million, with a year left on his contract at Lens.
The Blues reportedly watched Clauss on numerous occasions last season and are now willing to sign him this summer as a possible replacement for Cesar Azpilicueta. The Chelsea captain is free to leave the club this summer should he wish to depart, with Barcelona interested.
Reece James will likely remain as the club's first-choice option on the right side of defence, but a backup is needed, especially if Azpilicueta is needed. Clauss could indeed be that player - and it appears he'd be keen on a move to Chelsea if comments made by the man himself last year are anything to go by.
