Chelsea are reportedly mulling over a move for Wolves central defender Max Kilman with Thomas Tuchel eyeing up defensive reinforcements from the transfer market.
The 24-year-old Kilman has been a standout performer at the back for Bruno Lage’s Wolves as the Midlands outfit make a serious push for an entry into the top four in the league standings.
According to a report from TalkSport, it is claimed that the Chelsea camp are keeping close tabs on Kilman of late with a summer move for the in-form defender tipped to be on the cards.
Tuchel is resigned to losing out on his first-team defensive trio of Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta come the summer with the players out of contract at Stamford Bridge and looking for a new playing destination.
Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, a longstanding transfer target for the Chelsea boss Tuchel, remains top of the shopping list in the English capital with the France international impressing in light of his stellar displays in Spain’s top flight.
