How many centre-backs is too many?! Chelsea eye Benfica's Tomas Araujo as potential defensive reinforcement but face competition from PSG

Araujo, 25, finds himself the subject of interest from both Chelsea and PSG as the summer transfer window approaches its conclusion. The Premier League club aren't short of centre-backs but according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Mercato-chelsea-aussi-en-discussions-pour-le-defenseur-de-benfica-tomas-araujo/1504025" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a>, they have made contact with Benfica and are ready to challenge Les Parisiens for Araujo's signature.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Centre-backs Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill were joined in the transfer window by Tosin Adarabioyo, while Axel Disasi and Trevoh Chalobah remains on the books at Stamford Bridge amid speculation surrounding their futures. But Chelsea have already showed this summer that they're not too concerned with having a bloated squad, and Araujo could be next to arrive in west London.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea are attempting to take advantage of the slow progress of PSG's pursuit of Araujo. According to L'Equipe, the Ligue 1 giants must offload a centre-back before they can sign the Benfica player. Milan Skriniar has been deemed surplus to requirements and is expected to be moved on.

Enzo Maresca's side continue to be linked with a host of names in the window, although a move for Jadon Sancho <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jadon-sancho-serie-a-chelsea-snubbed-man-utd-agree-loan-deal-juventus-must-sign-permanent-transfer/blt0416a1a9e5b21dc1" target="_blank">doesn't appear as though it will materialise</a>.
