Chelsea have been linked with the signings of left backs for some time and with several attempts to sign Ben Chilwell which his price tag is too high. Meanwhile, Chelsea have now set their sights on highly attacking French Left-back Lucas Digne. The likes of Marcos Alonso and Emerson have failed to impress Lampard this season.
However, The 26-year old Lucas Digne is a highly-rated Left-back and the former Barcelona defender will fit in seamlessly into Frank Lampard’s tactics as the Chelsea boss is in need of a Left-back who is strong in defence and also a real threat in attack.
Lucas Digne is a huge attacking defender and he will be a huge asset for Chelsea in attack if a deal is completed. Digne also possesses world-class crossing ability, the defender is also an excellent free-kick taker and his numerous abilities are what have attracted Chelsea transfer chiefs.
However, Chelsea will have to beat Manchester City to the signing of the player as they have also been linked with a move for Digne. The defender will likely cost Chelsea in the region of £60m which is quite cheaper than the £80m Leicester city are requesting for Ben Chilwell.
Chelsea are also reportedly confident in negotiating a lesser fee with Everton for the player and this could mean Lucas Digne could be moving to Chelsea in the coming weeks if a deal is finalized.
The arrival of Digne will be a huge addition for Chelsea as he bring huge quality and stability to Chelsea backline. He will also be a big asset in attack as he has provided 7-assist for Everton this season. Lucas will be an upgrade on Marcos Alonso and Emerson as he is a better defender than Alonso who struggles.
