Marina Granovskaia can finally complete Chelsea deal for defender van Dijk described as ‘great’

Chelsea may finally have the opportunity to land reported transfer target Niklas Sule this summer.

The Bayern Munich defender has been linked with the Blues for some time, but Thomas Tuchel has not needed defensive reinforcements since his arrival, much thanks to the likes of Antonio Rudigerand Andreas Christensen hitting fine form

But amid the expected departure of Fikayo Tomori, who has an option to buy in his AC Milan loan, the Blues might just look to sign another centre-back ahead of next season.

And that may lead them back to a player they have reportedly tracked for some time

And there’s also another huge boost in that it is reported Sule’s preferred next destination is the Premier League.

Just how much Chelsea would need to pay to secure the 25-year-old’s signature remains to be seen, but he is valued at £31.5million by Transfermarkt
