Chelsea's £123m January transfer priority lays out path for Graham Potter's future plans

Chelsea have been busy in the transfer market since their summer takeover. The Blues have seen the arrival of 14 senior players in addition to a number of young stars for their development squad as Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have looked to replenish the options available to the club.

The immediate priority may have been to find defenders to replace Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, to rejuvenate Chelsea's backline. Though, Thiago Silva has ensured that the club will hope to extend his stay to help aid the transition for another year.

Coming into January, many considered that finding a central midfielder would be among Chelsea's priorities, particularly with Jorginho and N'Golo Kante both past 30 and set be out of contract in the summer as things stand. football.london understands that the Blues will make another proposal in the hope of signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica who would fulfill a role.
