Still makes no sense. We don't need two over 35 years old central defenders with dodgy injury record of late.
And given the contract situation with Christensen and Rudiger, the last thing the club would want is majority of our defenders left with just 0-2 years left on their contract. As it stands, only James and Chilwell are secured for the long term. The rest aren't. Azpi, Rudiger, Silva and Christensen's contract all expires next summer. Zouma and Alonso's expires in 2023. Am sure the club would prefer to add a long term player in there as opposed to someone on a one-year deal.
