Chelsea are understandably in the hunt for defenders this summer, after losing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen already this transfer window.
Manchester City, however, are already stacked with talent in defence, so a signing in this area doesn’t make too much sense.

A move to Chelsea would make a lot more sense, and it will be interesting to see if Thomas Tuchel makes a move for the defender this summer, especially to slot in at left-centre-back in their current system.
