Chelsea fans excited about signing Lewis Dunk
Chelsea’s defensive problems are no secret. It is an area that the club needs to desperately fix going into the new season. Some of the high-profile names on our radar include Declan Rice, Jose Gimenez and even Kalidou Koulibaly.
The latest name to do the rounds is that of Brighton and Hove Albion skipper Lewis Dunk. It is unclear how the rumour started but from the looks of it, the majority of the Blues fans are on board.
Dunk came through the ranks at the Brighton academy. With over 300 first-team games, he is well versed with the English game.
Also, he is a Chelsea supporter who looks up to John Terry. A leader at the back, he is also a dominant presence in the air at both ends of the pitch. Dunk may not be the most glamorous option, however, he could turn out to be an extremely effective one.
The romantic notion of a 29-year-old fan coming in and transforming the club’s defence is something we can get on board with. Whether it comes to pass or not remains to be seen.
We take a look at how Chelsea fans reacted to the rumour.

Dear @ChelseaFC, a combination of Lewis Dunk and Francisco Torres at the back is all we ask for.

Lewis Dunk at Brighton is such a great defender plus scores a lot of goals as the FPL players surely know.

Would be a shrewd signing @ChelseaFC. #CFC
Lewis Dunk is not a bad option for Chelsea tbh, physically fit and could command clearly in back line

Lewis Dunk? No nonsense, big man, puts himself about.

Lewis Dunk the latest CB linked to Chelsea. Always felt like he is a Gary Cahill type player. Would bring in much needed experience and defensive organisation. And obviously wouldn’t cost much

Don’t care what anyone says, I would very much take Lewis dunk at Chelsea!! His a no nonsense defender who is great in the air!! Proper old school defender.. ball comes in and he usually is there to head clear!! Worth a punt for me wouldn’t be much money either!!

Tarkowski and Lewis Dunk are criminally underrated.. I feel Lewis Dunk will fit this Chelsea side more.
