Chelsea are set to rekindle their interest in Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries after a recent injury to Reece James.
James recently suffered an injury that could keep him out of the World Cup with England. The young right-back is a key player for Chelsea and in his absence, Graham Potter has used a number of different players as his replacement.
The likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Raheem Sterling have been used in an unknown full-back role, so proper cover for James could be a priority for Chelsea in the upcoming January transfer window.

Now a report from 90min claims that Chelsea will fast-track their interest in Inter Milan defender Dumfries to compete with James.
The Dutch international has a similar mold to James in terms of his best attributes going forward. With Potter oscillating between a back three and a back four, Dumfries is the ideal solution at full back, with James often used in a more central role.
Chelsea currently don’t have a natural right-back at the club behind James, so having a player suited to the role rather than someone out of position seems to be their priority in the January window.
