Jules Kounde

Chelsea will revive their interest in Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as their pursuit for Manchester City's Nathan Ake looks to be collapsing, according to the Evening Standard.

Chelsea will re-approach the LaLiga side for Kounde, with the Blues unwilling to match City's £50 million price tag for the 27-year-old Ake.
