Clock is ticking for Chelsea boss as he looks to seal deal for Lyon’s Samuel Umtiti.
Jose Mourinho has been given a deadline of June 30th to complete a deal for Lyon defender Samuel Umtiti.
Umtiti has been consistently watched by Chelsea scouts, with the club searching for a man to replace Filipe Luis, who looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
French media are claiming that a deal for the Cameroon youngster could be finalised by June 30th, with Lyon eager to balance their books before the end of the month.
Young, with plenty of potential
The report claims a £10.7m offer could be enough to land the talented 21-year-old.
Umtiti, who can play at either centrally or left-back, has made 116 appearances for Lyon since his 2011 debut for the club and has been capped at Under-21 level by France, and with Chelsea’s reputation for developing youngsters, Umtiti may develop into a real quality player.
