Chelsea, progress on Kounde’ front: Zouma and cash to Sevilla

Chelsea are making progress in their pursuit of Jules Kounde'. The defender born in '98 is the top choice to bolster Tuchel's backline.

Tottenham were previously interested in Kounde' but he has chosen Chelsea as his next destination also because of the opportunity of playing in the next Champions League.

 The negotiation with Sevilla is progressing well, there is optimism on both sides a deal will be reached on the basis of €30/35 million plus the rights to Kurt Zouma.

 Kounde' came up in Bordeaux' youth system before joining Sevilla, he's now on verge of being Chelsea's main defensive addition.
