According to the Daily Express, Leicester centre-back Caglar Soyuncu is reportedly wanted by Chelsea as they aim to bolster their defense. The Turkish defender would probably be signed as an optional player rather than as a starter.
The 26-year-old is interested in leaving Leicester in order to grow in his career and win his place into the starting lineup for another team because he hasn’t been able to perform well under Brendan Rodgers.
It has been claimed that Chelsea has started contract talks with the player, which is bad news for Trevoh Chalobah.
Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Villarreal have reportedly all started talks to buy Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu in the upcoming months.

Soyuncu wants to leave, and in a development that may come as a surprise to some, Chelsea is apparently interested in signing the player.
Since the Leicester star wants to establish himself as a starter at his next club, the signing is most likely to be made for cover.
Trevoh Chalobah, who is hoping to rejoin the Chelsea lineup with his fresh opportunity under Graham Potter, would be hit hard with this news.

The blues have loaned the player to Fulham but they have a chance to test the player next season. However, the arrival of a new defender will have a big influence on Chalobah’s chances to play again for Chelsea.
It remains to be seen whether these rumours pick up pace or hit the tide in the upcoming months.
