# Chelsea: Odds drop on Lewis Dunk move to Stamford Bridge this summer

**The odds on Lewis Dunk’s potential move to Stamford Bridge this summer have been slashed.**

Frank Lampard has shown interest in signing the Brighton captain and it looks as though a move could be inching nearer. As reported by The Argus (via [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-kai-havertz-transfer-dunk-22519469)), Oddschecker are now advertising Dunk’s likelihood of joining Chelsea as 3/1.

The Blues have earmarked the 28-year-old alongside other [potential target Declan Rice](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours/bookmakers-chelsea-favourites-sign-declan-rice-transfer-update/) as options to bolster their backline. Lampard has identified his defence as an area of concern after conceding the highest amount of goals in the top ten last Premier League season.

[Kepa Arrizabalaga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours/chelsea-frank-lampard-offload-kepa-transfer-rumours-doubts/) is on the chopping block to be replaced and senior left-back Marcos Alonso could [also be heading out the door.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours/sale-of-marcos-alonso-could-pave-way-for-ben-chilwell-chelsea-transfer/)

Chelsea are keen on signing Rice, but recently discovered West Ham want a minimum of £80million if they are to let him leave this summer (as per [The Mirror report](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-kai-havertz-transfer-dunk-22519469)). If this proves to be too high a fee to pay, Dunk may be the next best thing, with a reported asking price of £45million.

The England international would likely start under Lampard as well, with a potential exodus of centre-backs a very likely scenario. The manager offered up both Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori in hopes for a swap deal for Rice (via [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-chelsea-offering-three-senior-stars-to-west-ham-in-exchange-for-declan-rice/)), and Liverpool have also recently been [linked to signing Antonio Rudiger.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/)

Brighton will be reluctant to see their captain leave, but £45million would be a handsome amount for the south coast side to bring in some new signings of their own.
