Jules Kounde shows up unannounced at pre-season tour after being left out of squad

Jules Kounde has arrived unannounced at Sevilla 's pre-season camp despite edging ever closer to a Chelsea transfer.

The centre-half has long been linked with a switch to the Blues and, as a result, was omitted by his current employers as they prepare for the forthcoming LaLiga season. A fee has been agreed between the two clubs, as have personal terms between the Blues and the player.
