Sevilla want Andreas Christensen in Jules Kounde deal with Chelsea

Sevilla are keen on signing Andreas Christensen as part of the deal that could see Jules Kounde join Chelsea this summer.

The Blues have identified Kounde as their main transfer target, and they are exploring a player-plus-deal for his services.
