Chelsea agree personal terms with star- Barca will let defender join Chelsea for£24m – Pogba
told to make Blues move
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is reportedly edging closer to signing for Chelsea after agreeing
personal terms over a switch to Stamford Bridge.
Kounde has been a big part of Sevilla’s season, starting 31 La Liga games and five
Champions League games this season, helping them to secure a top four finish.
He is regarded as one of the finest young central defenders in the game right now and
the player that Thomas Tuchel reportedly believes will be the ideal man to replace the departing
Antonio Rudiger.
He is talented with the ball at his feet, agile and quick – but At 5’11”, the
young international is neither particularly tall nor broad for a central defender – which
could cause him some issues in the Premier League.
Now – transfer guru Andreas Korssund has claimed that the player has agreed personal
terms with Chelsea, who are ready to meet Sevilla’s asking price of £59 million.
Korssung tweeted: “Jules Kounde is closing in on a move to Chelsea.
“The Blues will conclude talks with Sevilla as soon as Boehly’s takeover is complete
and they are ready to pay the required fee.
“Personal terms have already been agreed and the Frenchman is only waiting for Chelsea.”
we are massive fans of the young defender and believe that he could be a very good addition
to that Chelsea side.
He is not the tallest of defenders – so that could cause him some real issues in the
Premier League – but despite that – he does have the potential to become one of the
very best in world football.
So fans will welcome him with open arms – great start to the summer spending that Chelsea
are expected spend.
Louis Saha has told Paul Pogba to snub a move to Juventus and sign for Man United’s Premier
League rivals Chelsea.
Pogba has never totally looked at home in English football since his return to Old Trafford
in the summer of 2016 and has constantly looked like a player that does not want to be in
the Premier League.
He has also constantly been linked with a move to PSG -Juventus – Real Madrid and
even Man City over the past few weeks – but despite the rumours that he is all set to
return to Italian football – Saha believes Stamford Bridge represents an environment
that would bring the best out of Pogba.
‘Chelsea is the obvious match for Pogba because he loves to play with N’Golo Kante,’
Saha told Lord Ping.
‘We always try to compare what he does with France and United and the ability of Kante
makes Pogba play to another dimension and that’s the truth.
‘Only Pogba can indicate where he wants to go, I’m just sad he hasn’t fulfilled
his dream.’
There is no doubt that Pogba is one of the most gifted midfielders in world football
and a player that on his way – is almost impossible to play against.
The move away from the Premier League may be the best decision that he could make as
it will give him afresh start – away from all the headlines – away from all the drama
that the Premier League brings.
A few seasons ago he would have been a brilliant signing for Chelsea – but not anymore and
we would be shocked to see him make that move to the Blues.
It is his decision to join what club he likes – but as we said – Chelsea have seen him
on a weekly basis in the Premier League so know they would be getting a very inconsistent
player.
This Chelsea squad has defensive issues, cannot score the goals the club need and will need
to replace both Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, as they will be leaving the club
for nothing in the transfer window.
He will also know that he will need to add some more quality to that back-line – as
that has been a real issue for the club this season as they failed to get back into the
race to win that Premier League title.
Right-sided defender Dest that can operate on the left, has become a reported target
of the Blues as the board know Barcelona need funds in order to buy the quality of player
Xavi needs to get the club back to the top of the game.
It had been claimed that Thomas Tuchel had told the Chelsea board that he would like
to the club to sign Dest this transfer window, either on loan or on a more permanent basis.
However, according to reports emerging from Spain – Barcelona will allow the likes of
Chelsea to snap up the wing-back in a deal worth just £24 million.
Tuchel will know what players can make an impact on the side and what players cannot.
Dest is certainly a player that is not top-level – but is a very solid defender that could
be a very good addition to that Chelsea squad.
So if the reports are true and he is keen on a move to Chelsea – £24 million is not
alot of money to spend in todays football world is it?
and as we said – he could be a very solid addition to the Blues side.
