TRANSFER TALK: Chelsea's next defensive target Revealed.

Chelsea is prepared to focus on Leicester center-back Wesley Fofana if a deal to sign Jules Kounde fails.

The past two summers were largely devoted to the Blues' attempts to acquire Kounde, 23, from Sevilla.

However, it appears like the Frenchman might select Barcelona over the Stamford Bridge team after being outbid in 2022.

That follows the reported lack of action over Matthijs de Ligt and Nathan Ake.

However, according to the Mail, Chelsea is ready for this eventuality and has outstanding Fofana, 21, next on their list of targets.

Since relocating from Saint-Etienne to the King Power Stadium for £36.5 million in 2020, another French superstar, Fofana, has excelled.

Despite missing the most of the 2021–22 season due to a leg injury sustained in preseason, Leicester moved quickly to lock him down to a long-term contract through 2027.

Chelsea would therefore need to pay more than the £34 million they have paid for Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli earlier this month.

However, they may make money if Timo Werner leaves, who they would be willing to let do.

Juventus and Newcastle are both interested in Timo Werner, therefore he might leave Chelsea this summer.

Juventus and the financially robust Newcastle are two clubs that are considering signing the German.

Since his £47.5 million transfer from RB Leipzig two years ago, Werner, 26, has struggled in West London, scoring just 10 goals in 56 Premier League outings.
