Chelsea can remove one top left back from their list

Chelsea are looking for a left back, but we can rule out at least one target from their list.

CalcioMercato have a story about Theo Hernandez today, where they explain that he will be staying put in Milan for now.

They point out that plenty of clubs are interested in the former Atletico Madrid man – Chelsea, PSG and Manchester City are named as teams who have made offers in recent windows.

But Hernandez is apparently set on staying at AC, and he won’t be going anywhere soon. He’s on the verge of signing a new €4m a year deal to stay put in Serie A.

In all honesty he likely hasn’t been on Chelsea’s list since we signed Ben Chilwell. Having both at the same time simply wouldn’t make much sense, and this January we’re looking for a loan or a cheap option, not one of Europe’s best in that position.
