Three of Chelsea’s summer transfer targets revealed by credible source

PoL will now discuss three Blues summer transfer targets which were revealed by credible source within the CFC sphere, Nizaar Kinsella. First of all, Antonio Rudiger’s impending exit from the club has allegedly caused upset behind the scenes at the Cobham training ground. Goal’s reporter suggests the squad, irrespective of a clearly dignified outward demeanour during sanctions, are now unsettled by the so-called “aggressive leader’s” choice to move. Rudiger is said to be loved by teammates and his boss alike. In addition, the players know that they cannot ‘outrun off-field issues forever’.

Another obvious byproduct of the defender’s imminent department is that a rather large hole to fill emerges. Rudiger was integral to the Chelsea defence, for several reasons, and there really is no way around that fact. Though there are fit replacements, I am genuinely unconvinced that anybody can insert what the soon-to-be Real Madrid asset brought to the Pensioners side. I don’t want to put a further downer onto the faithful, but the unique CB is irreplaceable.

Thankfully the Fulham Road outfit have much better qualified scouts than myself who will make suggestions to the eventual new ownership, with Tuchel, regarding their main selections. Andreas Christensen is also leaving; the Dane will join Barcelona. Therefore a defensive rebuild is necessary if Malang Sarr, Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill are not offered tangible chances.

So, which athletes are on the wishlist? Let’s find out. The initial centrehalf on Kinsella’s main list of three – I’ll explain the bonus one later on, don’t worry – is Jules Kounde of Sevilla. Kounde is a France International, a detail which immediately peaks the interest of football connoisseurs. Additionally, the 23-year-old can play at rightback as well as CB, giving a kind of Reece James allure to the Frenchman.
