It was true last summer and it's still true 12 months later - Jules Kounde would be the perfect fit for Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.
Former Chelsea favourite Gus Poyet said as much last year when asked about the player he coached at Bordeaux in the second half of the 2017-18 season.
Poyet, currently Greece coach, trying to guide them to Euro 2024 said: 'Because of his pace and his power you can play a really high line. There are not many defenders who like to play really high up and have a lot of space behind but he doesn't care about that because he's confident that he can deal with it.
