Chelsea's hunt for a new central midfielder is expected to return to the forefront of Todd Boehly’s list this week. Despite signing six players this month, the Blues have failed to add reinforcements to a position that many feel is a priority.
Following Noni Madueke's arrival late last week, the quest for a new midfielder at Stamford Bridge is set to be prioritised between now and next Tuesday’s deadline. The Blues recently saw their opening bid of £55million for Brighton's Moises Caicedo rejected and were reportedly lining-up an improved offer close to the Seagulls' £75m valuation.
One player that had seemed to be on the verge of moving to west London was Benfica's World Cup star Enzo Fernandez. The midfielder wanted the move to the Premier League amid strong interest from Chelsea, but his £106m release clause proved to be a major stumbling block.
