Barcelona defender Jules Kaunde has linked his move to the Premier League in recent months, with Chelsea keen to secure his signature.
According to TBR Football, Arsenal and Liverpool are also keeping tabs over the French defenders, but Chelsea absolutely love him.
Bruce tried to sign him in the past, but the defender chose to join Barcelona instead. It is still unclear whether Chelsea will be able to close the transaction this time.
It’s no secret that Chelsea needs defensive reinforcement. They will need to find upgrades for players such as Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi. Chelsea were defensively vulnerable and Condo was able to help them close behind. La Liga’s defenders can operate as central defenders and fullbacks. His versatility is a bonus for Chelsea if they can get the deal done.
Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign Jules Kaunde
Meanwhile, Arsenal needs more defensive depth, and the 26-year-old could be the ideal acquisition for them. Aside from being a quality defender, he is very impressive in his distribution. He might be ideal for Mikel Arteta’s theatrical style.
The link to Liverpool is no surprise either. They need to start planning for the future, and the 26-year-old could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is at the peak of his strength, and he could be an upgrade for Joe Gomez, who has been injured since joining Liverpool. Virgil Van Dijk is in his 30s and may need to be replaced immediately. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs has made the deal.
The opportunity to move into the Premier League is extremely exciting for players and will want to join a competitive club that can win the trophy.
