Chelsea and Tottenham are gearing up for a battle on the transfer front for Inter Milan wing-back Denzel Dumfries heading into the January transfer window.
The contest for Dumfries’ signature could well be a fiery one with both London outfits believed to be working hard behind the scenes for the mid-year window as they look to bolster their squads.
Dumfries was a top target for Chelsea last summer under the former head coach Thomas Tuchel who wanted to add to the backline and his successor Graham Potter is likely to share his concerns by eyeing up a bid for the Inter Milan defender.
According to a report from the Italian news outlet Calciomercatoweb ( via The Daily Express), it is claimed that Dumfries’ asking price could be brought down to just £26.2 million which makes him an attractive buy for his suitors in the market.
A long-term injury to Reece James, forcing him to sit out the World Cup in Qatar with the England national team, has forced Potter to look for reinforcements and provide cover in the right wing-back role.
