Sources: Chelsea make checks on another new centre back name

They do need sales though

It was heavily reported by all the main media outlets that Chelsea were interested in signing John Stones as a free agent before he went to Inter Milan this summer. Our information also suggested Chelsea make an attempt to sign him. Stones simply wanted to play in another league before he retires and that was that.

What this says though is that Chelsea have tried to bring in another centre back as well as Maxence Lacroix already, which was a done deal when Chelsea tried for Stones.

Chelsea have been looking to bring another centre back, but will also depend on who they can shift from that area in their squad at the moment and also, the situation with Josh Acheampong - but they are certainly still looking into new centre back targets this window.
