According to transfer news from Daily Star, Chelsea are still in the running for Jules Kounde. Manchester United are said to be keeping Kounde as an alternative to Raphael Varane but Chelsa could also go after the Sevilla defender.
It is surprising that Chelsea would look to go after a new defender despite having a strong contingent of the same. The likes of Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have done well in a three-man defensive setup.
However, a closer look would justify Chelsea’s interest in someone like Kounde. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen will be out of contract within a year. The duo of Silva and Azpilicueta are also not getting any younger. This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
