Chelsea have been linked with a move for RC Lens right-back, Jonathan Clauss. The 29-year-old is reportedly being monitored as Thomas Tuchel looks to strengthen his defence.
Although urgent attention is required at centre-back for Tuchel as a result of Antonio Rudiger's move to Real Madrid and Andreas Christensen's imminent Barcelona transfer, the Blues are also looking to strengthen the wing-back areas.
Cesar Azpilicueta's long-term Blues future is also in doubt whilst Marcos Alonso is also on Barca's wish list. The Blues are prepared to let the wing-back depart if an acceptable bid arrives, football.london understands.
