Chelsea ready to pay £31m for Bayer Leverkusen’s Benjamin Henrichs

Chelsea are interested in signing the Bundesliga defender Benjamin Henrichs this summer.

According to reports, the Blues are ready to pay around £31million for the German wonderkid and a summer bid is being prepared.

Henrichs made his Germany debut back in 2016 and he is a target for Manchester rivals City and United as well.

The 21-year-old has been very impressive for Bayer Leverkusen this season and Antonio Conte wants him to fight for the starting right back spot alongside Victor Moses.

The Italian signed Emerson Palmieri as competition for Marcos Alonso and now he wants to do the same on the right-hand side.
