The 26-year-old could be a fine alternative to Ben Chilwell for Chelsea, with Bleacher Report’s Dean Jones recently telling TalkChelsea that the Blues were struggling to afford the Leicester City defender’s asking price.

Chelsea would surely benefit from signing the Dutch-German full-back, who looks like he’d be a significant upgrade on unconvincing duo Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri.
CFC have already shown their intent this summer with moves for Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech, while Kicker also strongly link them with a deal for Bayer Leverkusen starlet Kai Havertz.
