Chelsea is now interested in a move for Denzel Dumfries after missing out on their long-term target Jules Kounde.
The Blues reached an agreement to sign Kounde from Sevilla after pursuing him for over a year, however, Barcelona has hijacked their move for him and he is not coming to London.
It is a huge blow to their summer plans, but they have now turned their attention towards Dumfries of Inter Milan.
The Italians need to sell some players to balance their books and they consider Dumfries one man who can leave them for the right fee.
Chelsea wants to take advantage of that to add the wing-back to Thomas Tuchel’s squad for this campaign.
Matchplug understands that they are now looking to make him one of their summer signings as they desperately try to bolster their defence ahead of an important season.
