Chelsea<\/a> and Arsenal<\/a> are showing keen interest in signing Como defender Jacobo Ramon, as per Spanish outlet AS<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Blues decided to reinforce the backline by purchasing Maxence Lacroix this summer. As a result, Xabi Alonso currently has the Frenchman plus Wesley Fofana, Josh Acheampong, Levi Colwill and Jorrel Hato as centre-back options.<\/p>\n Moreover, Aaron Anselmino can provide cover in this position if needed. Still, Chelsea have struggled with defensive frailties this season, leaking 15 goals in seven matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n Alonso\u2019s side have conceded the most goals in the Premier League<\/a> thus far this term. After winning the first two league games, they have accumulated only one point from the last three matches before the international break.<\/p>\n As a result, it appears the Blues are considering signing a new centre-back next year, and AS<\/em> report that Chelsea have expressed their interest in Ramon.<\/p>\n Apart from the West London club, Arsenal are also showing keen interest in buying him. However, the youngster is currently focusing on playing regularly and developing his career at Como.<\/p>\n The Spaniard moved to the Studio Giuseppe Sinigaglia from Real Madrid<\/a> last year, and Los Blancos hold a 50% sell-on clause. Moreover, they hold a buyback option and explored the possibility of re-signing him this summer.<\/p>\n However, he refused to join the Spanish giants to play as a rotational option. Ramon is valued at around \u00a339m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a> and still has a contract until 2030. So, Cesc F\u00e1bregas\u2019 side aren\u2019t in any rush to sell him.<\/p>\n Ramon is a 6ft 5in tall right-footed technically gifted defender. He is composed with possession, good in the air, and is efficient in defensive contributions.<\/p>\nBattle<\/h2>\n
