Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea work throughout night to seal french-man deal- 5years deal agreed

Jules Kounde, a defender for Sevilla, has long been a target for Chelsea. Despite falling short of acquiring him last summer, the Blues appear to have finally struck gold this summer.

The 23-year-old Kounde has been Thomas Tuchel’s longtime defensive aim, and despite the Londoners and Kounde agreeing to personal terms last summer, a transfer ultimately fell through, leaving the France international with no alternative but to stay in Spain.

However, Speaking at the time about Kounde’s failed transfer to Stamford Bridge, Sevilla president Jose Castro, who spoke to media, as quoted by the club’s official website, said: “We’re all in losses this year, but we would have posted a profit had we sold Koundé. Our decision not to sell shows how strong we are economically.”

However, one year on and the 23-year-old is as close to leaving the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium as he has ever been.

According to a recent report from leading transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Todd Boehly’s Blues sent over the proposed deal’s paperwork during the early hours of Friday morning in the hope of finally completing a £55m deal.
