Chelsea add Wolves left-back to list

March 14, 2024Ligue 1

Chelsea have reportedly brought Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri back onto their list of summer transfer window targets, according to Simon Phillips.

The Algeria international has impressed in his time in the Premier League, and at the age of just 22, he could still improve further, perhaps making him the ideal profile of player for the Blues to try signing this summer.

Ait-Nouri has been on Chelsea’s radar for some time, according to Phillips, but it seems he’s recently been brought back onto the club’s list of more concrete targets to fix their issues at left-back this summer.

Fabrizio Romano has told CaughtOffside about Chelsea’s interest in signing a young left-back this summer, and though he didn’t mention names, it might be that Ait-Nouri is going to be one to watch as he clearly fits the bill for what the west Londoners need, and is the kind of player they’ve tended to go after under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.

“I understand Chelsea now hold an interest in signing Wolves left back Rayan Ait-Nouri this summer,” Phillips said on his Substack.

“The interest is not actually brand new, as I reported months back that Chelsea liked him. But he has now been bought back onto our shortlist of potential new left backs this summer.”
