Chelsea to seal a deal to sign Inter Milan star after agent visits London to hold talks

Chelsea will look to try and sign Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan after missing out on the player during the January window.

Reece James picked up a serious injury earlier in the season that has kept him out for a while now – and also kept him out of impressing at the World Cup with England.

He may be getting better and returning to action soon – but his departure has shown Graham Potter that he needs to delve into that transfer kitty and add another right-sided defender to the squad.

Dumfries is a player that Chelsea have been eyeing up for some time – but have never made an official offer – but after seeing him impress at the World Cup – and according to the latest reports – Chelsea are determined to sign the defender

According to recent reports on Gazetta dello sport. his agent was in London to complete a possible move to the Premier League and Chelsea

However – a deal did not materialse and he stayed put – but reports have claimed that Chelsea will reignite their interest in the player at the end of the current season.

Amid all the speculation and the rumours – reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Chelsea do not need to splash the cash to sign a defender that will replace Reece James – just provide back-up.
