“That should not be possible and that’s why, for me, with Chelsea’s defence as it stands today, I don’t see Chelsea finishing above Arsenal or Tottenham this season.” The Blues are currently working on a deal to sign Brighton defender Marc Cucurella, with an offer of £52.5m thought to have been agreed by the south coast side.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are also eying up a right-back to provide cover for Reece James, who may be used as a central defender. Southampton star Kyle Walker-Peters and Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan have both been linked with making a move to Stamford Bridge, though neither appear to be advanced pursuits at this stage.
