Chelsea Target Aymen Abdennour to Bolster Defense
In a surprising turn of events, Aymen Abdennour could be on his way to Chelsea, despite being previously linked with several other European clubs. According to the Daily Mail, the Tunisian international has caught the attention of José Mourinho, who is seeking to reinforce his defense before the close of the summer transfer window.
With John Stones unlikely to leave Everton, Chelsea has reportedly turned to the AS Monaco defender as a serious alternative. Talks between the two clubs are said to be underway, with a €20 million fee being discussed for the former Toulouse center-back.
Abdennour, who impressed in Ligue 1 and in European competition with Monaco, fits Mourinho’s profile of an experienced and physically commanding defender. With only days remaining before the window shuts, the Blues could finalize a deal quickly to ensure defensive depth for the season ahead.
