Chelsea interested in Vitesse Arnhem defender Guram Kashia

The 24 year-old Georgia international is under consideration by Chelsea after impressing at Vitesse this season.

Arnhem sources say should Chelsea fail to land Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill, they will turn to Kashia for the January market.

Kashia is club captain at Vitesse, which enjoys a close relationship with Chelsea.

Guram Kashia laat via zijn Twitter-account weten dat er geen contact is met Chelsea en dat hij er de voorkeur aan geeft bij Vitesse te blijven.
