Chelsea ready for fresh pursuit of versatile Barcelona full-back Sergino Dest... and could make a player plus cash offer, with Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta subject to offers from the Spanish side

Chelsea have reignited their interest in Barcelona's versatile full back Sergino Dest.

The 21-year old USA international is predominantly a right back but can also play on the left and that versatility is well liked by coach Thomas Tuchel.

Dest was considered in January and has been monitored since his time at Ajax.

Barca have already put offers to Chelsea pair Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta but with the financial straight jacket they find themselves in are limited to what transfer fees, if any, they can propose.
