Jules Kounde has already told Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappe £69m Chelsea transfer decision

Jules Kounde Karim Benzema Kylian Mbappe Todd Boehly Thomas Tuchel Europe Sevilla

Chelsea have potentially been handed a major curve ball ahead of the upcoming transfer window as Thomas Tuchel eyes a 'rebuild' in west London. Todd Boehly, who has agreed a £4.25billion deal to buy the Blues, is expected to 'push for A-list signings' to mark a new era at Stamford Bridge, according to the MailOnline.

And, among the highly-anticipated marquee signings that could arrive at Stamford Bridge in the summer is Jules Kounde. The France international has featured 31 times for Sevilla in La Liga this season, playing a significant role in the Spanish giants retaining the best defensive record in the league. His impressive displays have attracted the attention of Europe's leading sides.

According to Goal, the groundwork has been put in place to sign the 23-year-old as soon as sanctions are lifted and the UK Government give the takeover the green light. The Blues were linked with Kounde ahead of the season and were understood to have agreed a deal worth around £43 million, according to The Athletic.
