Chelsea could sign their own 'Casemiro' by securing one key midfield transfer from a Premier League rival club.
The Blues are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements, given the injury concerns surrounding N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, along with a number of key players' contracts set to expire next summer. Frenkie de Jong was a long-term target throughout the summer transfer window, but Chelsea were unable to convince the player to swap Barcelona for west London.
The Blues have struggled in the first half of the season and head into the World Cup break in eighth place in the Premier League table. Chelsea may be able to sign their own world-class midfielder that operates at a similar level to the likes of City's Rodri, Manchester United's Casemiro and Barca legend Sergio Busquets.
