Chelsea are 'interested in £103m-rated Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt' as Blues boss Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his defence after a number of key departures

Chelsea are said to be interested in acquiring Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Light as Thomas Tuchel looks to refresh his squad under the club's new owners.
