Chelsea have set their sights on Inter Milan wing-back Denzel Dumfries after dramatically missing out on the signing of long-term target Jules Kounde, according to the Evening Standard.
Serie A side Inter are in desperate need to sell one of their assets this summer in light of their recent financial struggles.
And the Blues are reportedly preparing to capitalise on the Nerazzurri's issues with a swoop for defender Dumfries.
Thomas Tuchel's side have been in a long pursuit of Sevilla defender Kounde this summer, yet have grown frustrated in their inability to seal a deal with the Spanish side.
