Following Reece James injury Chelsea set to sign 27-years-old World Class right-back
According to Daily Mail, The Blues have moved to sign Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic ahead of the January transfer window following the injury to Reece James,
However, James started Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday but suffered a reoccurrence of the knee injury he picked against AC Milan in October.
The 27 year old Juranovic was part of the Croatian team that finished third in the Premier League and was named in the World Cup team of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Celtic are understood to be open to listening to offers for their star defender during the January transfer window and it is believed the defender will be available for just £8million.
The Blues were interested in Juranovic during the summer window and a deal could be wrapped up quickly once the January market reopens on Sunday.
Finally, Celtic are already preparing for the exit of Juranovic to Chelsea in January and have already agreed a deal to sign right back Alistair Johnston from MLS club CF Montreal.
