Despite finishing the just concluded season as Champions League winners, The Blues are looking to consolidate their squad ahead of the 2021/22 campaign. The goal is to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title whilst competing at the highest level in Europe.
Thomas Tuchel is hoping to bring in a potent striker to add to Timo Werner’s pace, and to add better options in midfield and the wingback role, preferably a right-wing-back that can fit into the German’s favoured 3-4-3 system.

The West Londoners are also considering adding Davide Zappacosta or Tammy Abraham should Inter insist on an improved bid.
Hakimi is one of Europe’s most sought after wingbacks after a stellar campaign with Internazionale under Antonio Conte. The Moroccan wingback only joined Nezzazuri a year ago but the club could be tempted to cash in due to prevailing financial issues.
