Brighton are not willing to lose key central defender Lewis Dunk this summer.

Mange Graham Potter is building an exciting team at the club, as they secured Premier League survival last term.

And Dunk is key to those plans, per talkSPORT.

The Seagulls are not willing to lose Dunk or highly rated young centre-back Ben White.

The latter is wanted by the Blues, Leeds United and other clubs.

"I've spoken to people very close to the player (Dunk) and spoken to my sources at Brighton," transfer expert Alex Crook told talkSPORT.

"They haven't received a bid from Chelsea, and they wouldn't welcome one.

"Lewis Dunk is happy on the south coast and I'm told he's 95 per cent certain to stay a Seagulls player."
