According to The Telegraph, Chelsea are ready to make a move for a new defender this month after previously lining up targets for the summer.
The January window has not yet been that productive for the Blues, they have not managed to bring in any new players as they have only just managed to secure the services of Liam Rosenior, and their top targets do not wish to move at this stage of the season.
The report adds that the Blues had planned to try and sell at least one defender to accommodate a new face for next season but they are prepared to compromise on this if they can strike a deal for the right man.
CHELSEA are eyeing ball-playing centre-halves, with the Stamford Bridge club linked with Rennes’ Jeremy Jacquet and Jacobo Ramon. The Blues are also said to be targeting at least one new midfielder and a versatile attacker this year.
When asked about January signings, boss Liam Rosenior told reporters on Thursday: “I think if we do, it needs to be the right player. We need to be patient. I want to assess this group. It’s really, really important to me. I like to give the players I work with a chance to show good surprises. We still have time.
‘We have conversations every day, myself and the board, about potential transfers, both out and in, but at the same time, I need to focus on the players in the building. If I feel it’s the right time or the right player, then we’ll make that decision.”
IcFootballnews Says…
There is no doubt that CHELSEA have a world class squad, they have one of the best in the Premier League, but they are lacking a real leader in that back-line, and getting someone with experience should be a top priority.
We do not know who Chelsea will buy, but they should be making sure that they add some that is proven, that can handle the pressure and that can be a leader, that is what they really need.
