According to the "Goal Network", in order to cope with the possible departure of Marcos Alonso, Chelsea have made Brighton's Cocurella one of the transfer targets.
Marcos Alonso played just 17 games under Lampard last season, and Tuchel's arrival completely changed the situation of the Spanish full-back. Even if he didn't get much playing time last season, Marcos Alonso never had any intention of leaving. However, as some clubs' interest in him increases, he may be thinking about his future.
Last summer, Cucurella joined Brighton for 18 million euros. Under Graham Porter, Cucurella became one of the best left-backs in the Premier League. He has played 22 games for Brighton this season. In addition to playing as a left-back, he sometimes makes cameo appearances at left centre-back.
After Chilwell suffered a serious injury, Chelsea were left with only Marcos Alonso as a full-fledged left-back. If he decides to leave, Chelsea need to reinforce the position as soon as possible.
