Thiago Silva has already told Thomas Tuchel why Marina Granovskaia must finally secure Chelsea's long-term transfer target before the end of the January transfer window.
The Blues have not yet been able to significantly bolster their squad this month despite having struggled to contend with injuries to key players, such as Ben Chilwell, amid a congested fixture list.
Tuchel has suffered the absence of the England international arguably more than any other player and is keen to add a left-sided defender to his current options after the England international suffered a season-ending injury.
