Thomas Tuchel's reasons for opting for Kalidou Koulibaly over Jules Kounde have been revealed as Chelsea and Todd Boehly close in on a £34million transfer swoop.
Chelsea's defensive rebuild is finally taking some shape after months of speculation surrounding multiple names that have been thrown into the fray of replacing the already gone Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
All of Kounde, Matthijs de Ligt, Presnel Kimpembe, Milan Skriniar and many others have been linked to the vacant roles on which could see Boehly splash a significant part of the £200million budget. Amid rumours that the Kimpembe could be the third defender signed over Kounde, as per The Telegraph, there are two defenders that are almost looking like a certainty to be signing for Chelsea in the upcoming days and weeks ahead.
