Chelsea could turn to familiar friends to solve their transfer issues heading into 2023. With midfielders on the menu and a shortlist of targets to ensure that Graham Potter isn't left short-changed for the rest of the season, there is an element of prioritising the position.
With a set of injuries and contract expiries to deal with, there is now a process looking at bringing a player in next month and over the summer with Enzo Fernandez the man at the forefront right now. The 21-year-old is taking up a lot of Chelsea's energy as Todd Boehly looks to bring in the talented Argentina World Cup winner next month.
Although the winter window isn't open there have been talks between Chelsea and Benfica, as well as the start of personal negotiations with the player. Given the sums of money involved, £105m as a release clause with the expectation that Chelsea may pay more to get the deal over the line, it is still a long way from completion.
