Blues eye Seagulls’ Webster

- BY TOM HOPKINSON

CHELSEA are mulling over a summer move for in-form Brighton star Adam Webster as they prepare themselves for a defensive shake-up.

Central defenders Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christense­n still have not agreed new deals nor has right-back and captain Cesar Azpilicuet­a.

The Blues are weighing up a number of options to cover any departures.

And Webster is among those under considerat­ion after impressing at the Amex Stadium following his move from Bristol City in 2019.

The 27-year-old has been tipped for a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad, such has been his form.

Wealthy Newcastle, who signed Dan Burn from the Seagulls last month, have also shown an interest in him.

But the Blues are now keen as well and the opportunit­y to join a Champions League club is bound to appeal.
