Chelsea have one eye on the title this season with Thomas Tuchel in charge of the team this summer and another on the January transfer window. Chelsea needs to revisit their £168m transfer decision involving Declan Rice and Jules Kounde. Both the players have been a top priority for the club in the summer window but could not make the dream come true after the £97.5m acquisition of Romelu Lukaku.
Blues could not meet the £100m price tag of the West Ham midfielder and even the player happily inked a long-term deal that expires in 2024. A similar situation was seen with Sevilla defender who is priced at £68m. If West Londoners cannot lock in the 22-year-old defender, they do have an alternative in the form of Juventus defender Matthijs De Ligt.
