Chelsea keen on signing Samuel Umtiti

Chelsea could seek to bring in Lyon defender Samuel Umtiti in the upcoming transfer window, according to a report.

The French Under-21 international has been on the radar of the Blues for over a year, and The Star reports that Blues boss Jose Mourinho could finally make a move for the talented defender, who can play at either left-back or central defence.

It is added that Mourinho considers Umtiti as the perfect fit to replace John Terry, who is expected to bow out of Stamford Bridge at the end of next season.

Umtiti has made 100 appearances for Lyon till now.
