With every passing day, Chelsea are growing convinced that they would seal a summer move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. Last summer, the blues had edged closer to completing a transfer for the Frenchman. However, Sevilla's asking price was the major undoing.

Jules Kounde's reactions

After missing out on a move to England last summer, like any other player, it affected the performances of the French defender at the start of the season. However, to prove why he is regarded as one of the best in his position, Kounde picked up his form, and has continued to have great time outs with Spanish side Sevilla. Once again, with his performances still at the highest level, Chelsea are willing to make another summer approach for the French defender. This time, with a greater probability of success.

Properties of Jules Kounde

In terms of properties and abilities, Kounde has both the skill, build and technique to grow to be ranked among the best of defenders in Europe. Kounde is always determined, strong on the tackle, physical and can offer heading options up front.

With the abilities he posses, Kounde would be a great addition to the Chelsea side. With Thiago Sliva not the youngest these days, Kounde can form a solid partnership with Antonio Rudiger.
