Analysis: Denzel Dumfries is an ideal defender for the Premier League.

Chelsea and Manchester United are willing to pay around £50 million to secure the services of Denzel Dumfries.

The player is one of the best in his position and has done really good performances with Inter so far. Denzel has an outstanding career with PSV and Inter and has performed at high levels for quite a few.

Why is he the best alternative for Chelsea and Manchester United?

To not mention the alternatives that the Blues and the Red Devils have in these positions with Aaron Van Bissaka and Reece James included, Denzel is a great option for these squads. He can play advanced in the midfield and as a right back.

Ten Hag needs him on the team to boost with energy and stamina a position that has not been at the highest levels in recent years.

Wan Bissaka has been there since the 2019/20 season and has performed at good levels, but this is not enough for Manchester United. They want alternatives and intensity up front with the defender who is a robust one but lacks quality up front.

Chelsea

At the Blues the situation is different; they want the defender as a replacement for Reece James who was injured recently and is linked with a transfer at Real Madrid.

The team from Stanford Bridge would never forfeit the services of the 23-year-old, but even if this happens and he goes to Madrid, then the offer would be satisfying for Inter. They want the defender as a great option to change systems.

Pochettino has a squad full of stars and wants quality top players who can perform at high levels constantly.

But this is not all, Dumfries could be the perfect assistant for Noni Madueke who is a prolific winger and needs help in the attack. At the same time, Dumfries represents a great option to defend the spaces in the right wing.

For the moment this scenario is difficult to occur, with the Blues who want to keep Reece James in their squad.

To conclude, Dumfries has all the qualities of a great defender and the Premier League would improve his quality even further.
