DBasia.news – Until now, Chelsea has only recruited one name in the summer transfer market, he is Willy Caballero’s replacement goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli. Recently, two names have been linked with Chelsea: Romelu Lukaku and Jules Kunde.
Lukaku’s transfer saga is still ongoing as the latest news states that the striker has asked Inter Milan to accept an offer from his former club, while there has been no further news from Kounde.
Finally, according to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea offered Kurt Zouma and transfer funds to Sevilla for Kunde, but so far there has been no follow-up on the news.
The issue of Kunde’s transfer was actually followed by a former Chelsea defender who also came from France, Frank Leboeuf. According to him, Kounde is a tough defender like a fighter and can be a long-term asset for Chelsea if he is recruited.
“He (Kounde) is a fantastic player. He has everything. He is a fighter. He never gives up. He has everything. He is a definite future,” Leboeuf told ESPN.
“Maybe it’s an opportunity for Chelsea to get him, maybe not this season, but next season.”
“I don’t know what Kounde wants to do with his life, if he is ready to be on the bench more than he thinks. It’s up to him. It would be a good signing for Chelsea.”
Only 22 years old, Kunde already has two caps with the French national team and has been playing at Sevilla since 2019. Previously, the player born in Paris, November 12, 1998 defended Girondins Bordeaux. Besides being able to play as a center back, Kounde can also be a right back.
