Chelsea’s decision to target Jules Kunde is considered right

DBasia.news – Chelsea have reportedly made Sevilla defender Jules Kunde a priority in the transfer market this summer. So, what makes Kounde interesting?

According to reports circulating in England, Chelsea are willing to give 35 million euros plus Kurt Zouma to sign Konde. Currently, Sevilla is considering the offer. Reportedly, Kounde has a release clause of 75 million euros.

In terms of appearance, Jules Kunde has stole the attention. He has a number of advantages that make him a candidate for one of the best defenders in the future.

First, of course is age. Currently, Kounde is only 22 years old. That way, Chelsea can reap Kounde’s best performance in his golden age.

In addition, although not very high for a European defender, Kounde has an aerial duel success rate in LaLiga reaching 68.4%. However, the record is still inferior to the new Manchester United star, Raphael Varane, who incised 73.5% of the success of aerial duels.

Kounde also has the advantage in possession of the ball. Kounde finished 15th in Spanish football’s top division last season in terms of progressive passes total. If the benchmark is narrowed at the defender position, Kunde would have only lost to Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet.

Kounde can also play a role in a back three formation. This ability is very useful for Thomas Tuchel who built Chelsea using three parallel defenders.

With this tactic, Kounde’s ability to build attacks could be put to better use. Because, when he stepped forward a little, there were still two other central defenders who closed the space.

Thus, it is not surprising that Chelsea made Jules Kunde as a dream player in this transfer market. However, Chelsea is not alone as Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly also interested.
