The 28-year-old has emerged as a target with Lampard looking to strengthen his backline this January.

Chelsea have the worst defensive record in the top 6 and see Dunk as the player around which they can build a defensive foundation.

A product of Brighton’s youth academy, the defender has been instrumental in the Seagulls’ ability to maintain their Premier League status.

He has won one cap for England. He started and played the complete match in the friendly against the United States at Wembley in 2018.
