Sources: Chelsea make new agent contact for Dutch international centre back

Liverpool pushing for Dean Huijsen - news on that and more on Marc Guehi too

The Chelsea centre back situation is heating up right now and The Blues are putting the work in on a number of targets.

We exclusively reported a couple of months back that Chelsea were now interested in this Dutch centre back, and fresh contacts have now been made.

Trevoh Chalobah is still likely to be sold by Chelsea this summer, and there are of course concerns over the long term fitness of Wesley Fofana. Renato Veiga is another player who will be available this summer at the right price, so Chelsea’s decision makers will definitely be looking to bring in at least one new centre back, and potentially even two if Veiga does go.

Chelsea have been speaking to the people of Dean Huijsen of Bournemouth for a few weeks now and continue to push. He is now likely to stay in the Premier League but it is Liverpool at the moment that look like the most likely destination.

I’ve spoken to Liverpool sources, and they are adamant that the club are in pole position to land Huijsen this summer.

However, after speaking with SPTC sources, we are ensured that no decision has been made by the player yet and communications are ongoing.

The new info from sources is that Chelsea are also turning attentions to a player who they feel could replace Veiga as well as fill a centre back slot due to his versatility.
