A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona is a wanted man in England ahead of the winter transfer window.
This comes amid the understanding that Chelsea are giving serious consideration to launching an assault on the signature of Blaugrana stopper Jules Koundé.
French international Koundé is for his part in the midst of what has been a challenging campaign to date all told in Catalunya’s capital.
Owing to a combination of injury woes and a simple loss of form, the former Sevilla man has been restricted to just four starts between La Liga and the Champions League.
For this reason, it has been reported that Koundé could be on the move this winter, for the right price.
And considering positioning themselves at the heart of the bidding for his services, as alluded to above, are those in a position of power at Premier League outfit Chelsea. As per a report from Fichajes, citing TEAMtalk:
‘The defender has reappeared on Chelsea’s radar. The Blues are one of his biggest admirers, and now, under Xabi Alonso, he seems like a top target for their defence.’
