Chelsea are gearing up for a busy match week, and their transfer priority Jules Kounde has discovered a new rival in the form of a probable summer transfer.
The Blues will go to Old Trafford to play the Red Devils on Thursday night, with their opponents also interested in signing the Frenchman.
Manchester United has put the talented French center defender on its radar, according to Express UK, and might make a move for him in the upcoming transfer window.
After the departure of Antonio Rudiger, Thomas Tuchel’s team is short on defensive players, and the German is on the search for a new center half.

Meanwhile, the Londoners are in serious financial problems as a result of the British government’s embargo, which has yet to be lifted.
The defending European Champions have been suffering from a lot of injuries in their defensive department this season which has caused Tuchel to find consistency in the league run.
On the flip side, getting hold of the 23-year-old center half would be the ideal sort of replacement for Rudiger and Christensen.
The Sevilla superstar is well sounded with the ball and by watching him flourish in his French national side, there are no doubts that the youngster will shine in German’s style of play at Stamford Bridge.
