Chelsea are rumoured to be weighing up a move for Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile in order to reinforce their backline in the January transfer window.
Graham Potter has been grappling with injury issues to his backline with the big-money summer signing Wesley Fofana out injured for an extended period as the Blues look to bring in a fresh face for their squad.
With the Stamford Bridge giants unable to strike a deal for their long-standing target in RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol, Potter could be forced to look elsewhere for alternatives with the transfer window reopening for business in the coming weeks.
According to a report from The Athletic, it is claimed that Chelsea are keeping tabs on the Monaco defensive talent Badiashile who is likey to sign for the west London outfit in an agreement worth €35 million.
