Chelsea's search for quality additions to the squad in the transfer market will continue in January as the Blues look to end strong in the second half of the season. After a desperate summer rebuild under new ownership, the side have lacked consistency as the era under Boehly-Clearlake begins.
While there is a clear desire to transition from the old transfer model to one that involves landing young players before the competition, there is still a need to strengthen in the here and now. One of the options that could help combine the two is signing 23-year-old AC Milan star Rafael Leao.
The Portugal international continues to impress for the Rossoneri, even after missing out on a switch to Stamford Bridge back in the summer. Leao took that form to the international stage at the World Cup, ending up as his nation's second top scorer despite only making appearances from the bench.
