Chelsea's transfer hunt for a new midfielder in January is expected to continue in the final 10 days of the current transfer window. Todd Boehly has been a busy man throughout the opening month of 2023, with five new signings completed to bolster Graham Potter's squad.
Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk have been the two stand-out additions secured, with Noni Madueke's move from PSV Eindhoven in advanced stages. Young talents Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana have also arrived, pointing to Boehly's long-term transfer policy in west London.
However, despite the mass spending to improve the options in the final third, the midfield area of Potter's squad remains a key priority. The Blues are said to be in the market for a midfielder amid increasingly uncertain futures of N'Golo Kante and Jorginho - who both see their contracts expire in the summer.
