Chelsea could lose out on signing Denzel Dumfries to Tottenham Hotspur who have made enquiries to Inter Milan over the Holland international’s availability.
Graham Potter’s Blues have been credited with an interest in the Inter wing-back Dumfries as the Stamford Bridge giant look to bring in cover in the right wing-back role for the injured Reece James.
The Cobham academy graduate is the only natural option in his position at the club and his injury has forced the likes of Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to deputise but to no success which has convinced Potter to look elsewhere for fresh blood.
According to a report from 90min, with Spurs stepping up their interest in signing Dumfries, Chelsea could be set for a significant blow on the transfer front amid concerns over Potter’s backline struggles midway through this campaign.
Summer signing Wesley Fofana, who arrived for a big-money price tag in the summer from Leicester City, has been on the sidelines with injury while Kalidou Koulibaly has failed to replicate his Napoli form at the Bridge.
