Sources: Chelsea eyeing new wingers
Another position to add to the list of potential new arrivals
It seems that Chelsea are not yet done at all with the busy transfer windows, as plans looked to have changed direction ever so slightly for the next couple of windows.
What I know, and to be fair this has been the case for a while, the positions that Chelsea definitely want to address in January is striker and centre back, depending on opportunities, circumstances, and availability. But striker is the absolute priority for January, and a centre back as well - although the latter could still wait until the summer.
As of today, I am yet to hear if we will be pursuing a new centre midfielder or not. If/when I do hear anything on that, I’ll report it.
For the summer, they want to bring in a new left back as well, and the goalkeeper position has been described to me as something ‘they are keeping an eye on’ by sources.
As well as the above, there is also now a real chance that Chelsea look to bring in a new right back in January. No decisions have been made on that one yet, but there is a chance they might now look for a full back who can comfortably play on both sides. Kyle Walker-Peters is a player that some have mentioned on here as an option, and although I’ve not yet heard anything recent on him, he is a player that we did look at in the summer.
