On today’s Scout Report, we’re looking at Chelsea’s centre-back hunt. Kalidou Koulibaly is already through the door, but the Bloues remain light at the back, with Christensen and Ruediger at Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Azpilicueta potentially leaving too. That’s prompted a massive search for defenders, and with names like Kounde, de Ligt, Ake, and Kimpembe linked, the Blues are leaving no stone unturned in their hunt for reinforcements. In this video, we profile Koulibaly and what he’ll bring to Stamford Bridge, as well as a Bayern Munich star and a Bundesliga unknown who could be ready for the step up.

Hernandez won't downgrade Bayern aint selling there star man
gnabry extended to 2026 and Hernandez is not for sale plus de ligt is already flying to Germany to do his medicals.so Chelsea is down bad
Bayern won't sell Hernandez to Chelsea, they've just signed de Ligt to form a solid partnership with him, both too are record signings that they will want to keep at the club for as long as possible
Just saw on the athletic Bayern have agreed a fee for De Ligt for 68 million.
Maybe they should target upamecano as he will be behind hernandez and de ligt. Not sure if bayern will sell after just 1 year or if he is willing to go to chelsea but why not try
gnabry has already signed a new deal you're a bit behind
You said koulibaly was bad for missing 10 games a season then praised Hernandez for starting 25/34 so missing nearly 10 games
Gleison bremer would be a very good signing.
Which CB would you target if you were Chelsea? Or would you back Colwill and Chalobah?
(Dougie)
Bayern are playing 3 back upa,Lucas and de ligt with just pavard left.They won't risk playing youngster like Richards and tianguy often
Kimpembe/Silva/Koulibaly back 3 is elite and big upgrade on last seasons defence. Just need sigh another attacker now
Just a reminder Bayern broke Hernandez's release clause wich was the only option to get him at the time, another reason why he won't leave Bayern
Very good
Gnabry renewed until 2026
Hernandez isn't even an option, Bayern just signed De ligt to strengthen their defence they're not gonna sell the other starter
Gg
They have sarr he a top player he is play him more…
They should give Trevor more opportunities next to Koulibaly
Koulibaly, Silva, Chalobah, Colwill, Sarr current players.
I really like Colwill and hope he's given a proper run, his stats last season is encouraging and shows his suitability to Tuchel. An experienced left footed CB like Hernandez would be perfect
I hope Kounde join Barca and de Light or Hernandez go to Chelsea
Why does everyone say he's 6'4 lol. Everywhere online says 6'1.
Koulibaly and Kimpembe are two major transfers, if they manage Kounde as well they get themselves a iron trio.
How can koulibaly for only 30 mil. When he would have cost 80 last year anything other than an incredible deal
Bayern already said that Hernandez isn’t going anywhere, they are open to selling Pavard tho so if Chelsea need a RB, RCB then there you go
Hernandez is going nowhere. Your research is poor for this video.
Lucas Hernandez isn't going anywhere. He's been bayerns best centrebacks since they signed him. Deligt and hernandez are gonna be bayerns starting centrebacks.
We will probably get ndicka, insteqd of Luka or Gvaridol we need
Both the Hernandez brothers are genuinely incredible players. Impossible to get either of them I reckon but definitely worth trying.
Good options, but since we have an American owner, I could see us going for Sergio Ramos or hell even Maguire because of their name….
Koulibaly has been a top three CB in the world for the last 6years
what about Badiashile?
Bayern isn't selling Lucas.
so much salt on kouli you get a dislike
Again where are FD getting £120m from for the Koulibaly deal? It’s literally about half that amount.
It’s a £34m transfer fee and wages of £8-10m per year (£160k rising to £200k/ week depending on bonuses) making the cost of the deal an initial £64m (rising up to a potential £72m) or £72/£74m if 5 years.
I think Chelsea should go for gvardiol he play in a back 3 formation so he should be comfortable joining Chelsea
Hernandez is our best CB he will not leave.
Getting Kouly for just 40 million, is THE BEST TRANSFER Chelsea has made in years! And they have to thank Aurelio De Laurentiis (Napoli's president), who hates nothing more than selling his players to other Serie A clubs (you see how deep that scar, made by Higuain several years ago, still runs/!?). Therefore, Chelsea got themselves one of the Top 5 defenders in the world, who has at least 4, maybe 5 strong seasons in his legs. And compared with how much De Ligt costs, and even more important, comparing the skills of Kouly & De Ligt, there's no 2nd thoughts who is the superior footballer – De Ligt is only very young. But it's no coincidence that Juve left him go (despite paying such a huge amount, only 3 years ago), and were desperate to replace him exactly with Kouly – but as abovementioned… that's why now they'll try to "steal| Bremer from Inter, who probably isn't Koulibaly yet, but he's on a good way to become one of the best in the world, no doubt about it (I mean, he already is, but we;ll see whether last year's season could be repeated in much stronger team, like Inter, or Juventus).
So, congrats Chelsea! And to all blues fans – celebrate & be happy for getting the next season's best EPL defender!
Koulibaly at 31 is not an worry for us, Thiago Silva has been great for us at 37
You can buy 50 defenders but that team can't score goals. They wont be challenging for any trophies. Kai, pulisic, ziyech have all been poor. There is no chance creation. J5 is not good enough. 343 is not sustainable with the midfield and forwards cfc have. And TT plesse stop playing CHO as a RWB. If you are not going to use him well then sell him
Bayern are willing to sell Hernandez for £30m, which is a fair deal
