Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Dutch wing-back Denzel Dumfries from Serie A club Inter Milan in a €40 million deal.

For months, Denzel Dumfries' departure from Inter Milan has been rumored. Calciomercatoweb reported that Chelsea is now putting together a €40 million offer to the Serie A club to acquire the Dutch wing-back.

Dumfries has become a possible target for Chelsea as they need to acquire more defensive depth. Chelsea will need to get extra right-back cover since Reece James has endured ongoing injury issues this year.

Both a right-back and a wing-back can be used by Dumfries. He has also just established himself at the highest level for both his club and his country. He can definitely complete the task in the Premier League.

Ther 27-year-old has helped Inter Milan reach the UEFA Champions League final this season, and it remains to be seen whether he can help the Serie A club win the trophy this year.

Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be an attractive option for most players. Dumfries will be looking to test himself in the Premier League, and a move to Stamford Bridge could be the ideal next step in his career.

Although the Blues have had a disappointing season so far and are set to miss out on Champions League qualification, they are a formidable squad with enormous resources. Chelsea have a team capable of challenging for major trophies next season with the right manager in charge.

The Blues have the resources to sign the best players in the world. So Dumfries will fancy his chances of winning major trophies with them in the coming seasons. The Blues are expected to appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the new manager soon.
The Argentine is highly revered around Europe, and Dumfries will be attracted to the idea of playing at Chelsea under his management. The Dutchman is at the peak of his career right now and should be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact in the Premier League next season. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea and Inter Milan can agree on a fee for the defender now.
