Chelsea are interested in improving their defensive unit with the signing of Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best defenders in the league, and he could be an excellent acquisition for Chelsea. It will be interesting to see if they can convince the International to return to his former club.
