Chelsea will have to remain calm in a busy and frantic January transfer window as a crucial time in the club's immediate future comes into prominence. Although some good proactive work has been done to add youth to the squad in an attempt to shore up future squads there is a more pressing need for players.
Five players that featured against Nottingham Forest were 30 or older despite the plan being to transform Chelsea into a younger and hungrier set of players. That takes time, but January offers an opportunity to make amends for previous failures.
With Enzo Fernandez now the main priority for the window Chelsea are moving quickly to get a deal done for the 21-year-old World Cup star. He has become their top target for the winter but isn't an easy move to get over the line. With a massive release clause and wider competition for his signature, Chelsea are under pressure to complete the signing.
