Chelsea still have plenty of work to do if they are to prepare the perfect squad for Graham Potter. Despite making five signings this window already with a little under two weeks left to go, there are still at least two pressing issues to address.
The first of those is right-back with a back-up option and added competition for Reece James required to give Potter added balance. The second is a new midfielder.
Having made progress at the turn of the year to secure World Cup star Enzo Fernandez that deal has seemingly collapsed following a difference in valuation and willingness to pay this month. It's not implausible that the Blues go back for the 22-year-old but a move will be hard to secure at this stage.
