🚨💣 Chelsea need to take Alessandro Bastoni seriously in January. Watching him against France only reminded of what his defence could use: a calm left-footed centre-back who is strong, composed, comfortable on the ball and capable of making an impact at both ends of the pitch. If Inter are really looking for around €70m, it’s a deal Chelsea should at least consider seriously. Bastoni could bring quality, experience and leadership to the back line.
