Chelsea Eye Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol with perfect Tuchel plan according to reports.
RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol has become a firm Chelsea transfer target for Chelsea in its transfer activity, according to reports.
Chelsea are facing crisis in defence, with two senior center-backs on the way out.
Antonio Rudiger will be off to Real Madrid in the summer.
His fellow centre-back Andreas Christensen reportedly has a deal in place with Barcelona.
As a result, Chelsea are seeking reinforcements when the sanctions on the club are lifted and new owners come in.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Sevilla’s Jules Kounde is one of four centre-back targets on Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel’s shortlist.
According to Goal, 20-year-old Croatia international Gvardiol is another.
The Leipzig star moved to the Bundesliga club last summer from Dinamo Zagreb.
He has impressed in his debut season in Germany, playing all but three Bundesliga games with Leipzig battling for a top-four finish.
And the report adds that Tuchel can see Gvardiol playing on the left side of a back three, his preferred system at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have reportedly been scouting the Croatian since he broke into the Dinamo Zagreb side.
Goal adds that Kounde, Paris Saint-Germain’s Presnel Kimpembe, and Jose Gimenez of Atletico Madrid are also on Tuchel and Chelsea’s radar.
