There were many players linked with a move to Chelsea during the summer transfer window just passed, and the club clearly had many options and avenues they were looking at.
One area they didn’t end up adding to and were rumoured to be trying to do so was out on the right-hand side. They were looking for some backup for Reece James but ended up keeping Cesar Azpilicueta instead of buying in.

One player they looked at signing was Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries, and news of Chelsea’s interest got back to the player as well.
Dumfries says he is flattered by the interest from Chelsea but right now his words are wise, and he says he is concentrating on his current work at Inter.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are still keen on Dumfries or not. We will have to wait and see if they try again for him in the next window or two.
