Breaking news: Thomas Tuchel brings lime light on their news left back as the look up selling slow Alonso .

 Everton left-back Lucas Digne is headed 

for an exit from his Merseyside club, with

Chelsea interested in the defender, according

 to reports.

The Frenchman has been left out of the 

Toffees squad a few times in recent weeks 

which has reportedly come due to a disagreement

 with manager Rafa Benitez.

Chelsea could do with reinforcements in 

that position with the likes of Ben Chilwell 

out of action due to an ACL injury. In his

 absence, the Blues only back-up option 

has been Marcos Alonso.

As reported by Austin blog,Digne is headed 

for Everton's exit door in January, with Chelsea

, Leicester and Newcastle the three clubs 

interested in his signature.

Everton have since settled on an £18 million

 agreement for Ukraine left-back Vitaliy 

 to join the Merseyside club on January 

1, increasing rumours for the Frenchman

 to leave.

The 28-year-old's exit has come following

 speculation that he has fallen out with 

manager Rafa Benitez.

Despite Chelsea's Ben Chilwell likely to 

return to the action in January, he may struggle

 with a return to form given that he is currently

 among seven Blues players forced to self-

isolate due to testing positive for Covid-19.

Digne would still be a suitable re-

Enforcement  option for the Blues, given

 the loan departure of Emerson Palmieri to 

Lyon earlier this year.

The club's only current left-back option, 

Marcos Alonso, has also suffered from 

injury worries in recent weeks, meaning 

that midfielder Saúl Ñíguez has, on occasion

, been forced to step in.
