Chelsea scouting RB Leipzig defender Lukeba

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting Chelsea are following the French defender.

The most likely scenario is that a potential transfer takes place next summer - as Leipzig are said to be demanding a huge fee for a January sale.

So far, there are no talks about the centre-back - and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea choose to firm up their interest.

Furthermore, Lukeba is one of many centre-backs on Chelsea's list of potential signings, according to Romano.

Lukeba's contract with Leipzig runs until the summer of 2028.
