Top Chelsea source confirms club are watching French international forward

Chelsea are currently still without a sporting director, but that is not stopping them looking at their potential next transfer targets, and there are many.

The new owners are certainly not content with the big spending of the summer window just passed; they aim to be busy in the next few transfer windows as the squad improvements are expected to continue.

Sources: There are people on the new Chelsea board who really want to bring Declan Rice back to Chelsea!

The focus will be on the midfield and the attack, according to the reliable Chelsea source Matt Law in The Telegraph today.

He reports that Chelsea are watching RB Leipzig striker Christopher Nkunku this season and they will also assess whether or not the club needs to sign a new goalkeeper.

Nkunku has been linked with Chelsea a few times over the summer and again this week, and Law has confirmed that fresh interest once again. Chelsea will need to decide whether they want to trigger his release clause when it comes in to play in the summer of 2023.
