5) Jules Kounde (£50m) to Chelsea

Kounde

With Chelsea’s takeover completed, it does appear that the Sevilla defender will be the first name through the door as the Blues look to rebuild their defence ahead of the impending departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

Kounde has also been linked with Manchester United and Manchester City over the last year, but Chelsea are believed to have already agreed personal terms with the player. With Sevilla needing the cash to improve their finances, they are likely to accept an offer below his €80m (£68m) release clause
