Chelsea Make Move for Defensive Ace
Chelsea have reportedly intensified their interest in highly-rated defensive midfielder, Kai Fernandez, according to sources close to the club. Fernandez, currently playing for Bundesliga side, Wolfsburg, has been consistently linked with a move to the Premier League due to his exceptional tackling ability and passing range.
The Blues are believed to be looking to bolster their midfield options ahead of next season, and Fernandez is seen as a perfect fit for their tactical system. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is a massive admirer of the young talent and is hoping to secure a deal before other interested clubs.
Rumours suggest an initial bid of £60 million has been submitted, but Wolfsburg are demanding closer to £80 million for their prized asset. Negotiations are ongoing, and a breakthrough is anticipated within the next week.
