Chelsea manager Tuchel compiles three-man defender shortlist

 Chelsea are reportedly looking at three

 centre-backs to sign this summer.

Thomas Tuchel wants to sign a central

 defender to eventually replace veteran

 leader Thiago Silva.

According to Fichajes, Tuchel has 

constructed a list of three targets to 

pursue.

Number one on that list is young 

French stopper Jules Kounde of Sevilla.

Tottenham, Manchester United and 

Manchester City have all been linked 

with the 22-year-old.

Should Chelsea fail in their pursuit of 

Kounde, Tuchel has also identified 

his Sevilla teammate Diego Carlos

 and PSG star Presnel Kimpembe.
