Chelsea said to be interested in Toljan
Chelsea are reportedly interested in Hoffenheim full-back Jeremy Toljan.
According to a report from Sky Sports today, the Hoffenheim defender is a target for the Blues, along with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
Toljan has enjoyed a brilliant year with the Bundesliga club, and has made his mark on the European stage. He impressed for Germany’s Under-21 side at the European Championships and was one of their key players.
The defender, who is capable of playing at both right and left back, is particularly interesting Tottenham, who are keen to replace Kyle Walker this summer.
At Hoffenheim, his contract expires next summer, so a cut-price deal could be available. This would surely be attractive to potential suitors, and while his market value in Germany is said to be worth only £3m, Julian Nagelsmann’s side would surely demand more for such a promising player.
Chelsea have reportedly scouted Toljan already, with them having cast a keen eye over his progress last season, and a move wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise because of this.
