Chelsea interested in Sarr

According to a recent report from Sky Sports, Chelsea are interested in signing young French defender Malang Sarr.

They are said to be in talks to get the signing over the finish line, but right now, he’s a free agent after his contract with Nice ran out during the summer. The plan from the Blues’ perspective is that they want to send him out on loan if they are able to secure a deal, but either way, it could be quite the coup for them.

Sarr is an intriguing young talent, whereas Chelsea are in need of some defensive stars that they can build around in the next few years. Frank Lampard isn’t a fool and he’ll be well aware of the fact that their problems at the back have cost them, and those issues will continue to cost them if they don’t act fast between now and the start of the new season.
