Chelsea Transfer News: Updates on Cucurella, Fofana, Dumfries and Gvardiol

Round-Up

Talks with Brighton for Cucurella progressing quickly and a deal for £50-55million or with a lower fee and young Levi Colwill moving the other way seems likely.

Wesley Fofana is a primary defensive target at the moment but Leicester’s asking price of £85-90million appears prohibitive. Talks ongoing.

Josko Gvardiol is an attractive profile of defender and would cost in the region of £70million but any reports of a bid appear premature.

Denzel Dumfries is identified as a good tactical fit and with Inter needing to sell, a deal for £30-35million is on the cards.

Chelsea have lost 2 centre-backs and appear likely to lose Azpilicueta, Alonso and Malang Sarr via sales. Thus, it would not be a surprise to see Chelsea see through the signings of as many as 3 new defenders inclusive of centre-backs and wing-backs.
