Chelsea's pursuit of a left-back is reportedly leading the Stamford Bridge club to Wolfsburg's Switzerland international Ricardo Rodriguez. He fits as an obvious solution to the perennial problems on the left side of the Chelsea defence.
Perhaps that's why the Blues are prepared to go one step further than previously interested suitors, according to Adrian Kajumba of the Daily Mirror:
The Switzerland international, whose current deal expires in 2019, has already told club chiefs he wants to leave Wolfsburg this summer.
Rodriguez has attracted attention from Arsenal , Roma and Real Madrid but Chelsea have emerged as the one club willing to match Wolfsburg's £22m valuation of the 23 year-old.
