Chelsea could be one of the busier sides in the upcoming January transfer window as new owners Boehly-Clearlake try and move closer to have an ideal squad at Graham Potter's disposal. They have already invested £273.5million in their first summer market, beating the previous record set by the club.
While it was a required rebuild for the squad after the loss of some key players in important positions, there are still areas to improve. The midfield is a key one due to other expiring contracts that could leave them in a similar position to the summer with the defensive department.
There is also the need for better depth, particularly at wing-back, where the Blues have been rumoured with dealing for a few windows now. Marc Cucurella's big-money switch from Brighton helped solve the left side, offering an option over Ben Chilwell as well as in central defence.
