According to reports from the Evening Standard, the Blues have turned their attention to signing 26-year-old wing-back, Denzel Dumfries this summer after missing out and walking away from a long-awaited deal for Jules Kounde.

The Evening Standard report adds that goes the Italian giant, Inter Milan is more open to selling Dumfries than Skriniar, who has also been rumored to be on Chelsea’s wishlist.
