Confirmed: 3 potential right wing back Chelsea ready to sign to compete with Reece James
There is a lot of fascinating information in Matt Law’s article from today in The Telegraph that provides an update on Chelsea’s summer transfer ambitions.
The article focuses on the news that the Blues won’t be signing Cristiano Ronaldo, but it also discusses other aspects of their quickly changing summertime plans.
The Blues are said to be interested in signing up to SIX players, with Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly having already signed contracts.
One of the four players that are still available is hoped to be a right wing back to support Reece James. That makes us happy to hear. Compared to the central defender links that have been bouncing around, that makes a lot more sense.
Other sources today have made the suggestion that this wing back option will be so aggressive that they will be forced back to the position of wing back, which may help to explain our intentions for Raphinha.
Below are 3 name shortlisted for Reece James Backup
Ridle Baku, VfL Wolfsburg, 2. Jonathan Clauss, RC Lens and Benjamin Henrichs, RB Leipzig
