Chelsea will have their first summer signing wrapped up by the end of this month, according to local sources.
The Blues will embark on a squad rebuild this summer with a number of positions in the need of a revamp, especially at the back in defence.
Sources: Chelsea interested in Kalvin Phillips this summer.
With Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen both leaving the club this summer, and possibly more, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and the new owners will know how important it will be to address that position this summer.
The transfer window soon opens, and it is Jules Kounde who ‘will be a Chelsea player’ come the end of this month, claims Estadio Deportivo, as cited by Sport Witness today.
It’s a deal that has been spoken about for over the last year now and Kounde just looked destined to be heading to Stamford Bridge this summer to begin his Chelsea career. Should soon be done.
