Chelsea have been linked with a move for Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries.
According to a report from TuttoMercatoWebthe Blues are currently the favorites to sign the 26-year-old right-back.
Chelsea could use a quality full-back like him, especially with Reece James sidelined with injury.
Dumfries has been a key player for club and country this season. He has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and Chelsea would be an interesting move for the player.
The player impressed during the World Cup with the Netherlands and is believed to be on the radar of several European clubs.
The TMW report claims that a January move is unlikely and that Dumfries could complete a summer move away from Inter Milan.
Chelsea have employed a three-back formation under Graham Potter and Dumfries could be deployed as the right-back at Stamford Bridge next season.
Meanwhile, Reece James can play central defender and could slot in as the right-sided central defender in a three-man defence.
Dumfries’ arrival will add more depth and quality to Chelsea’s back line.
