Chelsea’s primary focus for this summer will be to bring in defensive reinforcements with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departing. However, the club will also have one eye on their options in central midfield.
N’Golo Kante and Jorginho have been at the forefront of the Blues’ successes over the last few years but both players are in their 30’s and out of contract next summer. And it remains unclear whether Chelsea will offer the duo new deals or sell in the upcoming transfer window.
One name that has been consistently linked with the west London outfit as a potential long-term solution to their ageing midfield is Jude Bellingham. The Borussia Dortmund star is one of the most sought-after young players in Europe after two highly impressive seasons in German football.
