Transfer Info, La Liga, Premier League

Sevilla defender Jules Kounde could finally be set to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

Premier League

Chelsea’s move to sign Jules Kounde is not completely dead, though Sevilla have set a deadline before midnight in order for any new transfer offer to be made.
