Chelsea eyeing 27-year-old defender in bid to strengthen grip on title

Our Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are the happiest of all this Christmas and you can see why with them six points clear of the pack in the Premier League.

They could be about to get even happier, though, as according to ESPNFC the club are interested in signing Fenerbahce’s Simon Kjaer.

The outlet claims that sources close to the Turkish club have told them that such interest on behalf of Chelsea is around and that the Blues are monitoring the centre half’s situation.

The Blues have been very impressive defensively this year since Antonio Conte changed their system to incorporate a back three and so any signing he feels could help them even further could be daunting for the rest of the league.

Without Champions League football or indeed any European football this season the Blues have a pretty clear run at the league title and despite the likes of Liverpool and Man City keeping them honest, our landlord thinks it’s Chelsea’s for the taking.

Would you take Kjaer, Chelsea fans? Or maybe you want someone else? Let us know below!
