Chelsea don reportedly dey look for how dem go add more options for midfield, either for January or next summer transfer window. This one dey happen even though Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez don dey perform well under Enzo Maresca this season.
Caicedo don dey add goals and assists join him usual ball-winning and fine passing game, while Fernandez don turn him control for midfield to steady influence wey dey push the team go front. But as Romeo Lavia don collect another injury blow for Qarabag match wey end 2-2 for Baku last week, e don force Chelsea hand to start dey reason new midfield signings.
Three Midfielders Wey Dey Chelsea Shortlist
According to TEAMtalk, three names dey for Chelsea shortlist to strengthen Maresca midfield after Lavia latest injury. Word be say the club patience don dey finish with the former Southampton man.
The first name na Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace — the guy don already catch attention of different Premier League clubs and even teams outside England. The second name na Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United, wey never start any league match this season under Ruben Amorim.
Mainoo future for Old Trafford no too clear again, as Amorim dey prefer other midfielders wey fit play different style. Because of that, talk don dey rise say the English young star fit leave either on loan or even permanently by January.

As for Manchester United, dem no go gree release Mainoo to Chelsea just like that. Even though e never dey Amorim plan right now, United no go wan loan or sell am to direct Premier League rival — especially since both clubs dey fight for top four spot this season.
Paz from Como na the one wey fit still make sense for now. The guy no be exact replacement for Lavia, but him creativity and Fabregas-style play don make am stand out. E still fit align with Chelsea model of signing young talents wey fit grow and get high resale value later.
