Media reports claim that Chelsea are keeping tabs on Michael Olabode Kayode, who currently plays as a defender for Brentford. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Newcastle, Man Utd and Inter remain in the background, but for now, Chelsea are leading the way in ongoing talks. Chelsea's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.17 goals per game (35 in 30). Michael Olabode Kayode would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Chelsea have recently been linked with Kevin Schade, Mykhavko Taras Vasyliovych and Riccardo Calafiori while Brentford have had no rumoured targets. Need more Chelsea transfer rumours?
