The Blues’ midfield is set to look very different come the start of next season.
Matteo Kovacic is on the verge of a move to Manchester City, Mason Mount looks set to join Manchester United and Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been linked with AC Milan. Elsewhere, N’Golo Kante is well past his best and injuries have ended his Chelsea stint sooner than fans would have liked.
So, it seems clear that midfield reinforcements will be needed this summer.
The likes of Moises Caicedo and Manuel Ugarte have been tipped for Stamford Bridge switches, but a new name has emerged this week.
As per Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on signing 23-year-old defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and there is an €80m proposal on the table from the Blues.
With Jorginho and Kante gone and Kovacic heading to the exit door, the west Londoners need a new defensive midfielder to partner record signing, Enzo Fernandez.
Liverpool & Newcastle the only teams willing to meet asking price of midfielder
