Sources: Chelsea make further checks on Portuguese international defender

Chelsea want an out and out centre back

Chelsea are certainly not getting things done in the summer transfer market so far, but the plans continue.

One of those plans is a new out and out centre back, and after missing out on signing Dean Huijsen, and Everton slapping a price tag that is still currently too high for Chelsea to pay to sign Jarrad Branthwaite, the club are looking into other options on the shortlist as well.

Branthwaite is still a target, and we’re also still told not to rule out Marc Guehi yet even though he is now being courted by Liverpool as well.
