Chelsea's right back Liz Zhanshi, who has just returned to action, has been injured again in his first game back due to a knee injury, and looks set to face another long layoff. According to Italian media FCInterNews, Chelsea is planning to bring in a right back urgently when the winter transfer window opens next month, targeting Inter Milan's Dufus.
In fact, Chelsea had an interest in Dufours as early as this summer, however it didn't work out in the end. The 26-year-old Dutch international has performed well in this year's World Cup, and his highlight was undoubtedly the match against the United States in the round of 16, where he scored two goals and made two assists to help the Netherlands win 3-1. After the match, the Dutch team leader Younger couldn't help but praise him publicly in the press conference.
Dufex can play both right back and right midfield, and his style of play is quite similar to that of Liz Zhanshi, so Chelsea regard him as the top target in the winter transfer market. Dufex joined Inter Milan in the summer of 2021 for a transfer fee of 15 million euros from Yanhofen, and his price tag has soared to 35 million euros, so Chelsea will have to pay a lot of money if they want to bring in this powerful defender.
