Chelsea are in search of defensive reinforcements this summer in response to the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. Sevilla's Jules Kounde appears at least one of the targets likely to arrive after over a year of speculation, however, a second appears less clear.
RB Leipzig's Josko Gvardiol, Torino's Gleison Bremer and Inter Milan defender Milan Škriniar have been mentioned to fill the left side of Thomas Tuchel's defence. A surprising name can be added to that list that Chelsea fans will already have good knowledge of.
Manchester City defender Nathan Ake has been linked by reporter Nathan Gissing. It is believed Tuchel is a big fan of Ake and his situation is one to keep an eye on this summer.
