Chelsea are considering a move for Brighton defender Adam Webster in the summer transfer window.
The Blues face uncertainty over the futures of centre-backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, both of whom are out of contract in the summer, while right-back Cesar Azpilicueta could also depart.
As reported by The Mirror, Chelsea could bring in Webster as they look to add defensive reinforcements.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is aware that his side could soon require a defensive overhaul, especially given that another of his centre-backs, Thiago Silva, is 37 years old.
