It is believed that Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants Kyle Walker-Peters to replace the injured Reece James but he has now been told that Chelsea need to offer a big transfer fee in order to sign the right-back.
But then, it remains to be seen if Chelsea football club will do the needful and submit an undeniable offer in order to sign Kyle Walker-Peters from Southampton this year.
