According to journalist Simon Phillips, via Chelsea Dodgers (h/t Football.London), the Blues are eyeing an opportunity to sign World Cup-winning right-back Nahuel Molina as a backup for Reece James.

The Englishman is out for one month. The fullback will have missed 36 games in the space of 13 months since December 2021 till the time he comes back from the latest setback.
As per Football.London, the Chelsea hierarchy is looking to sign a backup right-back. Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan has also been eyed up as a potential signing. Molina of Atletico Madrid is another option.
The Atletico Madrid star had a good tournament for his country and he can play on either side as a full-back or wing-back. The 24-year-old is good going forward and is more than decent defensively.
