5 Defenders Chelsea Should Target Signing Next Summer


It is widespread information on the imminent departure of Antonio Rudiger, who has a mutual agreement with Real Madrid and is set to join them as a free agent this summer. This betrayal by the German to the club that stood by him even when he was out of form cannot be described, but one thing about Chelsea is that they would always manage to come back stronger. This article highlights 5 top defenders Chelsea should target signing this summer, to replace the outgoing Antonio Rudiger.

Sevilla defender Jules Kounde is another on the list, as he was very close to joining Chelsea last summer but the deal fell through as the two clubs could not come to a financial agreement. Kounde is very much interested in joining Chelsea, and the Frenchman almost forced a transfer last summer but Chelsea left the negotiating table.
