"Chelsea" is working on the transfers of Fofan and Dumfries

Chelsea hope to sign Leicester defender Wesley Fofan and Inter defender Denzel Dumfries, according to The Athletic.

Denzel Dumfries

The Blues have lost key defenders Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger. Now head coach Thomas Tuchel wants to restore the defensive performance. For this, Kalidou Koulibaly was already purchased from Napoli.

Leicester are demanding around 80 million euros for Fofan. But the transfer of Dumfries will cost the Londoners cheaper, because "Inter" wants to unload the salary list after active work in the transfer market. A successful deal for the Dutch defender could also be helped by good relations between the clubs after the Romelu Lukaku deal.
