Chelsea could look to raid a couple of their Premier League rivals in January as they try to strengthen their squad.
Chelsea’s interest in Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is already well-documented. The Blues tried to sign him during the summer and are still in the market for a midfielder after losing Enzo Fernandez.
As well as Bournemouth, Chelsea could also try to raid London rivals Arsenal. Myles Lewis-Skelly was linked to Chelsea in the previous transfer window, and there are now fresh rumours about the versatile England star and the Blues.
Here's our Chelsea player ratings vs Man United! Who deserves higher or, perhaps, even lower? 👀
It’s a shame because he was a monster at Leicester. He’s still a strong and aggressive defender, but I do feel like he gets done so easily.
@caleb.sage If he did, must be because his contract is running down. I can't remember if he's ever had a good 15, let alone 45 since ' the pit pony ' joined us. We gave away Guehi, Chalobah et al to keep him
I am happy to see Estevao being given the chance to display his quality on the ball, and to show he has workwd on his off the ball movement. Lavia's performance was impeccable, and as far as Penders goes only Verbruggen played better in goal yesterday.
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that Chelsea are keen on Lewis-Skelly and are tracking him ahead of the January transfer window.
Lewis-Skelly can play in midfield, which has been a problem area for Xabi Alonso at times this season, but he can also be deployed at left-back. He could be a very useful player for Chelsea, but it is highly unlikely that Mikel Arteta will let him go mid-campaign.
Arsenal are in the middle of a title race. There is no doubt that Lewis-Skelly’s versatility is going to come in handy as the season progresses.
If Chelsea want a young versatile footballer who is familiar with the Premier League, they will probably have to look elsewhere.
