Chelseaare keen to reinforce their defense this winter. Marc Guehi is one of their prime targets and could be joining the London-based club in January. The Blues are doing exceptionally well under Enzo Maresca so far. They are currently 2nd in the Premier League table. At the same time, they have made it into the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League with a 100% record. But defense pretty much remains an issue for the Blues. The manager thinks that the backline is the issue why the team is not ready to compete for big trophies just yet. Considering how well they have done so far, the management won’t shy away from fixing the issue and competing for the trophies this season.

The 22-year-old is doing well with Bournemouth and has the attention of many top clubs. Benfica’s Araujo is also on Chelsea’s list. The Portuguese has shown great potential so far. Signing him could also benefit the Blues.
Is Marc Guehi the best fit for the Blues?
