Transfer News: Chelsea make approach for Kyle Walker-Peters (The Hard Tackle)

Chelsea have reportedly approached Southampton about the possibility of signing 25-year-old English right-back Kyle Walker-Peters.

Chelsea are also in the market for a left-back, and talks to sign Brighton & Hove Albion’s Marc Cucurella are believed to be in an advanced stage. However, the Blues have lost a couple of their top transfer targets already this summer and are not willing to repeat the same mistake twice. Denzel Dumfries is believed to be Chelsea’s top target for the right wing-back position.

Chelsea are interested in signing Southampton and England right back Kyle Walker-Peters, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Walker-Peters is best known for his explosive pace, but his astute defensive ability and calmness on the ball make him a well-rounded option. Inter Milan are said to want at least £40 million for the Dutchman as they don’t intend to sell. Chelsea have already been busy this window, with new arrivals.

Along with pursuing Cucurella, Chelsea are also monitoring developments around Fofana. Leicester value the 21-year-old centre-back at £85m (€101.6m) and have insisted that he is not for sale, but Chelsea want to test that stance. Chelsea also see Cucurella, who was previously targeted by City, as a possible candidate for the left centre-back position. The 25-year-old, who can operate on both flanks, is a key player for Southampton. He is strong on the ball and would lessen Tuchel’s dependence on James, who was sorely missed while out with a long-term hamstring injury last season. The manager is keen to add more depth behind James, who can play as a right-back, right centre-back and right wing-back. Chelsea’s owners want to back Tuchel and, after strengthening their central defence by signing Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli for £33.8m, (€40.4m) they intend to keep spending. Manchester United have also been linked with Walker-Peters.

Southampton are reportedly confident they can hold off interest from Chelsea as they look to keep Kyle Walker-Peters this summer.

However, the signing of Walker-Peters would be an extremely intelligent purchase by the Blues. According to The Telegraph, this has seen them consider making a bid for the England international, with them enquiring as to the price they will be expected to pay for him. According to The Telegraph, the Saints have set a price tag of around £29m on the full-back, with them hoping this will be enough to scare the Blues away from a potential deal.
