  • Adam Webster could be on his way to join Premier League side Chelsea at the end of the ongoing season
  • Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel is planning to bolster his defense in case Rudiger and Christensen should leave
  • Thomas Tuchel has the backing of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich having won the Champions League last season

With three defenders out of contract this summer at Premier League side Chelsea, the Blues' manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly eyeing a move for Brighton star Adam Webster.

The duo of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are yet to agree new deals at Stamford Bridge and this has been serious concern for Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

Thomas Tuchel who last season replaced Frank Lampard as Chelsea coach has been impressive since taking over as he helped the Blues to win the Champions League title last term.

According to the report on Mirror and Sky Sports, Chelsea chiefs feel that bringing Adam Webster to Stamford Bridge will be of great advantage to the club.

Chelsea were recently linked to Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao as a replacement for one of their on-the-way-out defenders, as Thomas Tuchel looks to ensure his defensive options are sufficient next season.

What is Chelsea's current position on the Premier League table?

After 24 games played so far this season in the Premier League, Thomas Tuchel and his wards are currently occupying third position on the table.

When did Adam Webster join Brighton?

Adam Webster has been playing for Brighton since 2019 after joining from Bristol City and has so far featured in 73 games netting five goals.

John Terry sends crucial message to Chelsea ahead of Club World Cup final

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Chelsea legend John Terry offered some golden advice to Blues players ahead of the Club World Cup final against Palmeiras on Saturday, February 12.

The Blues have the chance to make amends for their failure at the same competition in the final 10 years ago when they lost to fellow Brazilian outfit Corinthians.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are strong favourites for the match, but upsets are no strange occurrences in football and Palmeiras are no pushovers by any stretch.

Days before the final, midfielder Jorginho admitted the Brazilian clubs hold the Club World Cup in very high regard, and Palmeiras were likely to give everything to win the final against the Champions of Europe.
