Chelsea are reportedly still holding a keen interest in Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy.
According to a report from West London Sport, the Frenchman is one of the defenders the Blues are considering moving in for this summer.
It’s been reported in recent times that Chelsea are looking to land Juventus left-back Alex Sandro, but it now looks as though Mendy is still a name that Antonio Conte is keen on.
Mendy enjoyed a simply stunning season with Monaco and played a big part in helping them to secure the Ligue 1 title ahead of PSG.
He’s established himself as one of Europe’s most potent left-sided defenders and is sure to be high in demand this summer. His displays have earned him a regular place in France’s starting line-up.
However, one off-putting factor for Conte in his reported pursuit of Mendy is that Monaco currently value him at around £40m – a fee that is unlikely to be paid by any club this summer, let alone by Chelsea.
