Chelsea are reportedly keeping close tabs on VfB Stuttgart wing back Borna Sosa with the Blues in the market for an emergency signing to bolster the backline.
Ben Chilwell’s injury looks set to sideline him for what remains of this campaign which has upped the pressure on the Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel to bring in reinforcements in the winter transfer window.
According to reports from Sky Deutschland (via Fussball Transfers), it is claimed that the Stamford Bridge giants are eyeing up a move for the highly rated Stuttgart defender Borna Sosa.
A price tag worth €30 million slapped on the 24-year-old Croatian could complicate matters on the transfer front for Chelsea who are into the final week of the January window as Tuchel seeks cover in the wing-back role on the left side of the pitch.
Chelsea have failed in their attempts to prize away Lucas Digne from Everton earlier this month while attempts to recall loanee Emerson Palmieri from Lyon have been turned down by the Ligue 1 outfit.
