Sevilla director of football Monchi has provided an update on the future of French defender Jules Kounde amid interest from Chelsea this summer.
The Blues have been linked with a number of centre-backs as they look to replace Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, who have joined Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively on free transfers.
While Manchester City ’s Nathan Ake, RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol and Juventus ’ Matthijs de Ligt have all been linked with interest from the Blues relatively recently, Chelsea have held interest in Kounde for some time and with Thomas Tuchel’s side likely to be in the market for multiple centre-backs this summer, now seems to be the time for a deal to be struck.
