Jules Kounde furious over Sevilla's denial over his Chelsea move

Chelsea were desperate to sign the French forward but a last-minute breakdown prevented the deal from happening in the just-ended transfer window.

Jules Kounde furious over Sevilla's denial over his Chelsea move

Jules Kounde is currently ignoring Sevilla, talkSPORTS has reported.

The French international is reportedly ‘furious’ with the club for not selling him to Chelsea before the close of the transfer window.

Kounde was close to sealing a move to the Premier League with the Blues this summer yet the deal did not materialize after the Spanish club failed to sanction his move.

Chelsea were ready to pay £47million for the France international, with the transfer looking imminent, only for Sevilla to demand more money at the last minute which saw the deal break down.

And reports in Spain claim the player is now fuming with his club and is not answering director of football Monchi or manager Julen Lopetegui’s calls.

Chelsea seems to have shifted their attention from the 22-year old defender to Napoli star, Kalidou Koulibaly.

football.london has hinted that Thomas Tuchel remains keen to bring in defensive reinforcements to his side and it is claimed that the Senegal international will be targeted by Chelsea when the January transfer window opens.
