Chelsea to move for Marc Cucurella?

Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Barcelona defender Marc Cucurella.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Getafe from the Spanish champions and has made 34 appearances during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing one goal and five assists.

Getafe allegedly have the option to the sign the Spaniard on a permanent deal this summer, but according to Sport, Chelsea are also in the hunt for the left-sided player.

The report claims that Barca are ready to accept offers in the region of €25m (£22.7m), making Cucurella a cheaper option than the likes of Porto's Alex Telles and Leicester City's Ben Chilwell.

The Spain Under-21 international has largely operated as a left midfielder this term but is also capable of turning out at left-back.

Cucurella has only made one first-team appearance for the Spanish champions, which came in October 2017.
