Chelsea are setting their sights on signing Brighton defender Marc Cucurella this summer.

The left-sided flyer can play as a wing-back and winger, which makes him an extremely versatile player in the eyes of manager Thomas Tuchel.

After impressing with Brighton this term, the 23-year-old is being linked to Chelsea, Manchester City, and other clubs.

According to The Sun, Chelsea see Cucurella as the ideal Marcos Alonso replacement.

However, Brighton are not in the mood to sell him on the cheap.

The source claims that the Albion will request at least£45 million to part with a player they signed last summer from Getafe.
