Chelsea could find themselves in a new transfer saga heading into the new year as Todd Boehly attempts to bring in a host of players to revamp Graham Potter's squad. As well as a new right-back to cover for Reece James' injury and fitness worries there is a demand for a new midfielder too.
It's been more than three years since a permanent midfield addition was purchased and with N'Golo Kante and Jorginho both able to negotiate pre-contract moves away in January there could be a serious lack of options moving forward. It is the centre of the park that most of the attention is being spent on with Enzo Fernandez now being actively pursued.
As well as Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham - both summer targets - Chelsea want to add at least one body in midfield in January. They've already wrapped up deals for David Datro Fofana, Christopher Nkunku and Andrey Santos whilst Benoit Badiashile may not be too far behind, but none of these players fit the bill for January.
