Yoro has attracted interest from various clubs this season, and now Chelsea has joined the race for the 18-year-old talent, according to The Standard. With Thiago Silva’s contract set to expire this summer, Chelsea aims to rejuvenate their defence with younger options. Despite injury concerns leaving them short on defensive choices, Mauricio Pochettino opted to bench Silva in Chelsea’s last two Premier League matches.

Yoro is seen as an ideal addition to Chelsea’s squad, fitting into their project seamlessly, having already made his mark with Lille’s senior team as a France Under-21 international. The youngster has enjoyed a remarkable season in France, drawing attention from European heavyweights like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain for a potential summer move. Although PSG appears to be leading the chase, Lille is eager to retain him in Ligue 1 beyond the current season.

Alternatives to Yoro in Chelsea’s defensive plans include Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo and Sporting’s Ousmane Diomande. Chelsea reportedly shows little concern about violating Premier League Profit and Sustainability regulations, confident in their ability to invest heavily and compete for desired signings.

Despite a disappointing season, Chelsea remains determined to turn things around and end on a positive note, signalling to potential summer recruits that the club remains an attractive destination. Their upcoming FA Cup quarter-final clash against Leicester City on Saturday, March 16, offers them a chance to demonstrate their competitive spirit amidst their recent dip in form.
