Summer target flattered by interest

Chelsea-linked Denzel Dumfries has admitted that he was ‘flattered’ by summer interest in him.

Forward on radar

Potter’s side are reportedly keen on signing RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku.

The 24-year-old has scored six goals in 11 games already this term in all competitions and reached a tally of 35 in the last campaign.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his CaughtOffside column that he has admirers at Stamford Bridge:

“There will be many clubs in the race for Nkunku next summer, including Chelsea as they’ve always been interested and attentive to his growth.”

Price tag for winger revealed

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic’s future is up in the air at the moment.

Juventus have been linked with a swoop for him over recent times, despite him still having two years left on his contract.
