After failing to acquire a centre back so far this summer, Chelsea could take a new approach in their recruitment with Inter Milan wing back Denzel Dumfries linked with the Blues.
Despite already bringing long-term target Kalidou Koulibaly to Chelsea this summer, Thomas Tuchel 's side remain in the market for another defender after Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Chrisrensen departed. Sevilla defender Jules Kounde looked set to be Tuchel's next arrival, but developments over the last few days now mean the Frenchman will be staying in Spain, with a move to Barcelona almost complete.
Struggling for centre backs, the Blues may look to change their transfer strategy in the remaining weeks of the transfer window, with Tuchel's side now being linked with Inter right back Dumfries. The Netherlands international has been fantastic for Inter after securing a move to Italy last summer following his impressive EURO's campaign, and with Reece James more than capable of playing at centre back, the potential arrival of Dumfries may see a shake up in position for James next season.
