Chelsea 'offer Kenedy to Sevilla as new makeweight in attempt to sign £68m-rated centre back Jules Kounde'... after Kurt Zouma threatened to REFUSE involvement in swap deal with Frenchman set on West Ham move

Chelsea have reportedly offered Brazilian winger Kenedy to Sevilla as they look to seal a deal for centre back Jules Kounde in a player-plus-cash move.

The Blues have made the 22-year-old French defender Kounde their number one defensive target yet are currently not keen on paying his £68million release clause.

As such, Thomas Tuchel is keen to include a player as a makeweight but after Kurt Zouma threatened to refuse to be involved in any swap deal, 25-year-old Kenedy is now the player who has been offered, according to The Sun.
