Chelsea are reportedly giving serious consideration to making a formal approach for RB Leipzig defender Josep Gvardiol during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea have reportedly identified RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol as a potential replacement for Antonio Rudiger.

With the Germany international seemingly on the brink of signing for Real Madrid on a free transfer, head coach Thomas Tuchel is left searching for an alternative who can play on the left-hand side of a back three.

Chelsea have already been linked with numerous defenders, including Jules Kounde and Pau Torres, but it appears that a younger option may come into consideration.

According to Goal, Gvardiol is regarded as a strong option to feature in Rudiger's place, as well as on the left-hand side of a back four.

The report claims that the West Londoners have already scouted the player on numerous occasions, although their admiration will not necessarily lead to a deal being completed.

Gvardiol, who only turned 20 in January, is less than a year into a five-year contract, and it leaves Leipzig in a position where they can demand well in excess of the €16m, plus add-ons, which they paid for the Dinano Zagreb youngster.
