According to journalist Andreas Korssund, the Blues are considering Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumphries as well as Wolves pacy wideman Adama Traore as options to bring into the club.
Dumphries played a major role in Inter Milan’s season last term, following his summer arrival from PSV Eindhoven. He has played 45 times for the Nerazzurri and has scored on five occasions.
With the 26-year-old still having three years left on his current contract and being a regular first choice for the Serie A giants, the prospect of enticing the Dutch international away from the San Siro seems an unlikely one.
A more realistic target could be Spain and Wolves star Adama Traore, who endured a difficult spell on-loan at Barcelona during the second half of last season.
The 26-year-old is famed for his phenomenal pace and incredible power, but only found the net once in his 40 appearances for both of his clubs in the most recent campaign. Traore is now back at Molineux after Barca opted not to sign the Spanish international on a permanent basis.
Traore still has a year left on his current deal at the Black Country club. He has experience, playing as a right-wing-back, so can provide adequate cover for Chelsea’s undisputed first-choice full-back Reece James.
Thomas Tuchel says his Chelsea players are ’not ready yet’ for new season
Thomas Tuchel has been incredibly vocal in the last few weeks about his unhappiness with his side’s preparations for the upcoming campaign.
Chelsea have only signed two players so far this summer, while also letting key first-team players such as Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Rudiger leave the club.
Following his side’s pre-season tour of the US, Tuchel told reporters (as quoted by The Mail):
Chelsea will begin their Premier League campaign against Everton on August 6 at Goodison Park.
