Chelsea working to sign new right-back before end of January window

Chelsea are continuing to work on signing a new right-back this month, 90min understands.

The Blues have already brought in a host of new faces this month, with Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana and Joao Felix all arriving at Stamford Bridge.

But Chelsea are not done with their business just yet – another midfielder on their agenda, while they also want to bring in cover at right-back.

While there is no doubting that Reece James is first choice, Chelsea want backup and there are a number of options they have been assessing.

90min understands that their preferred option is Inter’s Denzel Dumfries and talks have taken place about the possible finances behind a transfer. Chelsea have not been put off by initial suggestions of a deal worth £35m.
