Denzel Dumfries’ representative will reportedly be in the English capital this week, amid claims Chelsea could make a move for him.

According to GiveMeSport, the agent of the Inter Milan player is set land in London some time in the next few days, potentially to organise a transfer to ‘The Big Smoke’.

Of course, Dumfries’ delegate might just be doing a bit of sightseeing.

A touristic tour that could take him to the offices of Stamford Bridge, where his client reportedly has several interested suitors.

The Inter defender has been linked with a possible transfer to Chelsea throughout the campaign, as the club attempt to strengthen their full-back options.

Particularly at right-back, where Cesar Azpilicueta is the only senior player available to cover that position currently.

Reece James’ remains on the side-lines through injury, whilst Trevoh Chalobah’s recent performances in this area of the field have not been ground breaking.

Denzel Dumfries could possibly improve Chelsea

Dumfries would represent a formidable right-back, who can also be deployed as a wing-back if the formation requires.

He is a proven attacking weapon as well as a defensive force, having contributed 17 goals in 68 appearances for Inter in just under two seasons.

His Serie A employers are said to be willing to sell the Dutch international to help balance their books.

They value the 26-year-old between £44m and £53m.

Match either fee, and Boehly’s spending as the Chelsea owner would edge closer to the £500m mark.

We hope you’ve been saving your pennies, Todd!
