Jamie Carragher has compared Chelsea's current transfer market activities to those of Roman Abramovich in 2003 upon his arrival on the scene in England. The Blues look set to be one of the busiest teams worldwide in January in an attempt to give Graham Potter extra resources for the rest of the campaign.
Having fallen to ninth after opening 2023 with a disappointing draw to Nottingham Forest, Potter has only gotten one win in the last seven and has a dreadful record without Reece James in the side. Competition for him is expected to come in before the month is done.
Elsewhere Enzo Fernandez is edging closer to a league record move from Benfica after efforts to sign the 21-year-old were stepped up after the World Cup's conclusion. He will cost over £106million and takes up a large chunk of the budget this year but isn't stopping ambitious co-owner Todd Boehly from pushing for more transfers.
