Chelsea look set to complete a move for Jules Kounde this summer, 12 months on from trying to sign him first.
According to Diario AS in Spain it is 'only a matter of time' before a deal is completed, worth around £51.5million. Chelsea have had to wait to make moves, but with Todd Bohely's takeover of the club complete, attention turns to bolstering the Blues' squad for a Premier League title challenge next season. In order to to do, the Blues will need to address the defence having seen a number of key players depart already.
Antonio Rudiger's move to Real Madrid has been confirmed and Andreas Christensen is set to join him in Spain, albeit with rivals Barcelona. Thomas Tuchel will need at least one replacement and Kounde is believed to be the team's first choice having nearly signed last summer.
