  • Chelsea targeting Lille's Leny Yoro
  • Looking to replace Thiago Silva in summer
  • PSG and Real Madrid also interested in Yoro
  • Mauricio Pochettino Thiago Silva ChelseaGetty

    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Yoro has been linked with multiple clubs so far this season and now, Chelsea are also showing interest in the 18-year-old as per The Standard. With Silva's contract expiring this summer, Chelsea are looking to bring in a younger centre-back. Despite having few defensive options due to injury problems, Mauricio Pochettino has benched Silva for Chelsea in their last two Premier League games. Yoro is thought to be a perfect fit for the Chelsea project with the France Under-21 international having already become part of Lille's senior team.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 18-year-old has had a fantastic season in France, and other major European teams like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in signing him in the summer. PSG remain the front-runners for the youngster but Lille are keen to keep him in Ligue 1 beyond the summer.

  • Jean-Clair Todibo Nice 2021Getty

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo and Sporting's Ousmane Diomande are two potential centre-back alternatives to Yoro as Chelsea plan yet another busy summer of transfer activity. Chelsea are said to be unconcerned about breaching Premier League Profit and Sustainability rules, and believe they will be free to splash the cash and battle for their targets.
