Chelsea are said to be the frontrunners in the race to sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde this summer.
Blues manager Thomas Tuchel, according to Super Deporte, wants to bring the 23-year-old to Stamford Bridge to bolster his defense for next season.
Sevilla, a Spanish club, is rumored to be interested in selling the centre-back for around €70 million (£59 million).
According to the report, Tottenham and Manchester United are both interested in signing the France international this summer, but Chelsea is in the best position to do so.
Kounde is a highly rated young player for Sevilla, who are currently second in La Liga. With his pace, athleticism, and aggression, he makes for an exciting center-half.
With several key defenders out of contract at Chelsea this summer, it's understandable that the Blues are on the lookout for some marquee signings to bring in as potential replacements.
In addition, last week, reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea's hierarchy considers Kounde to be the "perfect signing" for the club in the summer.
Chelsea must improve their defense.
Any success next season will, without a doubt, be contingent on having a strong defense.
Last season, the Blues' attack was underwhelming, but a strong defense helped them win the Champions League.
It's concerning that the futures of Cesar Azpilicueta, Antonio Rudiger, and Andreas Christensen are still unknown, and as a result, many fans are concerned.
When scouting the best emerging center-halves in Europe, Kounde checks so many boxes.
