Chelsea have cooled their interest in Marcos Senesi because they did not sign a replacement for Levi Colwill and failed to secure Jeremy Jacquet.

The Blues have also been credited with interest in Senesi, who’s expected to make a decision regarding his future soon, with his Bournemouth contract expiring at the end of the season.
However, despite links with Chelsea, Jacobs has reported the Blues have actually cooled their interest in the centre back.
“I’m told, contrary to reports and full respect to the excellent journalists that have said Chelsea, but I’m told that they’re not currently active, even though they considered Senesi in January,” he told The United Stand.
“And the reason why is because Chelsea are prioritising height and aerial duel winning over only ball playing, and Senesi is very rounded and can play on the left or the right side as a centre-back, but not somebody that Chelsea are in negotiations for.”

Whilst a move for Senesi is possibly off the cards, Chelsea are believed to have stepped up their interest in his Bournemouth team-mate Alex Scott.
