Chelsea is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with plans to strengthen key positions in their squad.
The Blues are eager to bring in new signings before the Club World Cup, which they will be competing in next month. According to reports, Chelsea’s priority targets include a striker, a goalkeeper, a left-sided defender, and a right-footed winger.
The need for a striker is particularly pressing, with supporters clamoring for a new signing to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson. The club has identified several targets, including Liam Delap, Viktor Gyokeres, and Benjamin Sesko, whose profile is said to fit the club’s project well.
In addition to a striker, Chelsea is also looking to strengthen their defensive options, particularly in the left-back position. With Marc Cucurella being the only option in the first team squad, the Blues are seeking a hybrid defender who can play both centre-back and left-back.
The club’s transfer targets also include wingers, with Jamie Gittens and Rafael Leao being touted as potential signings. Meanwhile, Chelsea will conduct a full review of their goalkeeping options before deciding whether to sign a new keeper this summer.
With Enzo Maresca at the helm, the Blues are aiming for Champions League football next season. To achieve this goal, the Blues will need to assemble a squad that can compete with the best teams in Europe. With a clear plan in place, Chelsea is poised to make some big signings this summer.
