Chelsea Transfer News: January “Plans” Don Leak as Dem Explore Centre-Back Signing Possibility

Reports don show say Chelsea no get any plan to sign new centre-back or goalkeeper for the January transfer window.

The Blues just beat Liverpool 2-1 last Saturday — their second Premier League win this season.
Head coach Enzo Maresca get sent off after he celebrate the last-minute winner too wildly, but the Spanish manager still know say e get plenty work to do fix some wahala inside the squad.

Chelsea defence don face plenty criticism this season after poor performances wey make dem drop points against Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester United.

But according to Sky Sports News, Chelsea hierarchy still believe say dem no need any new defender or goalkeeper for now — dem dey satisfied with the options wey dey inside both departments.

Dem Fit Don Miscalculate for Transfer Market?

Chelsea no go fit use Levi Colwill for a long time as the young defender suffer ACL injury for pre-season.
Na one of many defenders wey dey injured as Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana, Josh Acheampong, and Benoit Badiashile also dey struggle with fitness issues recently.
Dem fit return after the October international break, but for now, the defence still dey short-handed.

Even though all those players dey solid, none of dem get the kind ball-handling composure wey Colwill get.
This one fit cause problem when Chelsea meet aggressive teams wey dey press high and try win ball early.

For goalpost matter, Robert Sanchez start the season with fans believing say e don improve small and no dey make too many costly errors again.


But the red card wey e collect for the 2-1 loss against Manchester United on September 20 don raise questions about im decision-making again.
E performance inconsistency fit make Maresca consider other goalkeeping options if things no balance soon.

Maresca Fit Win Title With This Squad?

Since Todd Boehly take over Chelsea for 2022, the club don spend billions trying to rebuild the team.
But their best league finish since then na fourth place for the 2024-25 season, which no still match the heavy money dem don drop.

With all that investment, Chelsea suppose dey fight for title, but truth be say Maresca’s current squad no still reach Arsenal or Liverpool level in terms of quality and depth.
To add to the problem, star boy Cole Palmer don only score two goals in his last 19 Premier League games, and that one don raise concern about how Maresca dey use the club’s best player.

Maresca don show say tactically, e fit match big managers like Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool bosses, but e never yet prove say e fit maintain that same level of excellence across full season with the players wey e get.

Chelsea dey improving slowly, but unless something change fast — either in defence or attack — Maresca fit still struggle to turn all that spending into serious title contention this season.
