Bade has appeared in 21 games in the ongoing campaign so far, netting a goal and assisting once. He is averaging 1.9 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, and 4.2 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The French defender is physicality strong and does timely tackles. He reads the game well, intercepts the threats, and can be relied in one-on-one situations. He is also a dominant figure in aerial duels though he needs to improve his passing abilities.

Chelsea need a centre-back on an urgent basis

Chelsea surely needs a centre-back in the summer window as they lack enough quality in the backline. Wesley Fofana has recurring fitness concerns while Axel Disasi has moved to Aston Villa on a loan deal. Hence, the club had to recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace.

Hence, the Blues want to bring Loïc Badé to settle the defensive woes for once. The youngster has made strong progress in La Liga and continues to improve further. He can be a good long-term investment for the club going forward.

Chelsea are ready to offer around €30 million to sign the 24-year-old. However, it remains uncertain whether Sevilla will accept this bid or not. Apart from the Blues, the likes of Livepool, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also tracking the player.
