Jules Kounde to Chelsea was a transfer saga that dominated headlines for much of the 2021 summer window.
After plenty of twists and turns, it appeared as though Kounde wanted the move to Stamford Bridge but Sevilla were reluctant to sell the Frenchman for anything less than £68million.
The price tag eventually put Chelsea off and a transfer never materialised. In hindsight, that probably looks a bad decision as Chelsea have had a number of shortages in defence throughout the season - albeit mainly in the wing-back area as a result of Ben Chilwell and Reece James' respective long-term injuries.
