Chelsea's top transfer targets right now are Jules Kounde and Ousmane Dembele, and Shaun Wright-Phillips feels both can become key players for the Blues.
Should Chelsea sign Ousmane Dembele this summer, Shaun Wright-Phillips believes the Frenchman will be a "huge player" for the club. The 25-year-old winger's contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the month, and the Blues are optimistic that a deal can be reached.
There have been recent conversations between Chelsea and the winger's entourage, according to football.london, and there are encouraging indicators that a deal can be reached. Dembele collaborated with Thomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund, where the France international made a name for himself in Europe.
Dembele then completed a move to Barcelona for over £100million, but ever since joining the La Liga outfit, he has struggled with consistent injury problems. That's the main concern supporters have with signing the Frenchman: whether or not he can keep himself on the pitch.
When speaking to Genting Casino, Wright-Phillips believes that if Dembele can establish his fitness to Chelsea, he will become a key player for the Blues next season. "Ousmane Dembele is a wonderful footballer," he remarked.
"It's just a question of whether or not his body can handle the brutality of the Premier League and whether or not he can play a continuous run of games after so many injuries." If Chelsea can keep him fit, he'll be a huge asset to the club."
