Marina Granovskaia will likely be practising her best impression of a Shepard having finally found the solution to Thomas Tuchel's growing left wing-back problem after copying Jurgen Klopp's clever transfer.
17-year-old Kaide Gordon, who swapped Pride Park for Anfield earlier this season, has impressed for Liverpool and Chelsea look set to sign a Ram of their own.
Marcos Alonso has struggled to emulate the high standards that Ben Chilwell set before he ruptured his cruciate ligament against Juventus in November.
The west Londoners have been seemingly keen on bolstering Tuchel's options at left wing-back this month, but the Blues have been all bark and no bite, until now.
Chelsea have entered talks to sign 18-year-old Dylan Williams from Derby County, according to transfer specialist Alan Nixon.
The youngster, who has been described as a 'versatile and explosive player' on the club website, has made just six first-team appearances in the Championship this season, alternating between left wing-back and centre-midfield in cameo displays.
While Williams is yet to establish himself in Wayne Rooney's starting eleven, he fits the profile of player that Tuchel could be after amid Chelsea's injury crisis.
Williams would provide Tuchel with an exciting short-term alternative to Marcos Alonso in Ben Chilwell's absence, Chelsea would also be solving a far wider issue at Cobham.
The Surrey-based training ground has emerged as one of, if not the greatest hot spots for young talent to earn their trade before plunging into the senior game.
Cobham has developed a number of Chelsea's first-team squad, including the likes of Mason Mount, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi and more lately, Lewis Hall.
However, while the Blues academy has enjoyed flouting an array of talent over the years, there is one position that Chelsea have struggled to develop to their same soaring standards - left-back.
The west Londoners signed left-backs like Juan Castillo, Patrick van Aanholt and Jay Dasilva in the past but they were unable to stake their claim for sustained first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge, unlike their counterparts on the other flank.
Chelsea can finally rectify this trend with the signing of Williams as the Blues look to mirror the success reaped by producing right-backs such as Reece James, Tino Livramento and Tariq Lamptey.
