Chelsea target 10 million Kondogbia ! (The indipendant) The French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, who has just finished his first season at Seville, is a key Chelsea target as they seek to sign a defensive midfielder as part of their squad strengthening over the summer. The 20-year-old moved to Spain last summer from Lens and was a virtual ever-present in the Seville side last season. He has been extensively scouted by Chelsea during that time – before the return of Jose Mourinho – and it is anticipated that, despite the four years left on his deal at the Spanish club, he would be a cheaper option in that position than more experienced players. Kondogbia is not yet a full France international and should be available for around £10m. Seville have already sold Jesus Navas to Manchester City and it looks like Alvaro Negredo may also leave, for Atletico Madrid, but, relatively speaking, Kondogbia would prove simpler to replace than either of those. Kondogbia is currently part of the France Under-20 squad who are one of the favourites to win that age-group’s World Cup in Turkey which starts on Friday. He is part of a promising generation of French players including the Juventus and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and the Real Madrid centre-back Raphaël Varane, currently injured. A strong, imposing player who operates in front of the back four, Kondogbia fits the bill for Chelsea. Prince
