Chelsea Looks to Strengthen Defense in January Transfer Window

Chelsea is allegedly on the hunt for a new central defender as the January transfer window unfolds.

Shift in Transfer Strategy

Initially, Chelsea was anticipated to maintain a low profile during the January transfer window; however, recent developments indicate a shift in this approach.

According to insights from Fabrizio Romano, discussions within the club have prompted Liam Rosenior’s team to actively seek out a center-back.

Previous Requests

Former head coach Enzo Maresca had previously recommended that the club pursue a new defender after Levi Colwill sustained an ACL injury over the summer, but that proposal was not acted upon.

Current Defensive Roster

As it stands, Chelsea’s defensive lineup includes Levi Colwill, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Josh Acheampong.
