Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Barcelona full-back Sergino Dest as Thomas Tuchel looks to strengthen his defence next month.
The Catalan giants beat Bayern Munich to the signature of the American last year to see him join from Ajax, and was in favour at Camp Nou under Ronald Koeman.
But following the Dutchman's sacking and the arrival of the club's legendary former midfielder Xavi as the new boss, the 21-year-old has fallen down the pecking order.
And The Express now claim Barcelona would allow Dest to leave with the Blues among the sides chasing the USA international as cover for Ben Chilwell, who suffered a partial ACL tear last month.
