The January transfer market will be open very soon. There will be many players moving to England and vice versa. Chelsea are also going to be active in the market. Here are some of the latest updates about their pursuit of striker and winger.
Firstly, the Blues will make only necessary signings in January. As compared to last few windows, this may be very quiet. They are doing really well under Enzo Maresca who is very happy with the current squad.
It is believed that the Blues sell more and sign less players this winter. Many players can move away due to lack of game time. This may open up space but the club will not replace every player due to PSR.
Chelsea transfer news: Strategy for striker and winger
Firstly, the Blues are very likely to sign another striker next year. The Athletic have reported that it is the long term ambition of the club. But, the idea of signing a striker is in summer window. The Blues will only make a move in winter if the club feels desperate need due to sale.
As of now, Nkunku has expressed a desire to move away from Stamford Bridge. He was being used as a backup striker by Enzo Maresca. If he does leave in January, the Blues may make a move. But, they can also wait until summer as Nicolas Jackson has been in superb form this season.
On the other hand, Mykhailo Mudryk who was linked with January exit, is found guilty in doping tests. He is suspended and is unable to train with the Chelsea squad. The Blues may need to replace him until he comes clean in investigation.
There is a conversation going on between the club about replacing Mudryk. But, Chelsea feel like they have enough depth in that position. As of now, the Blues have Neto, Sancho and Madueke as wingers whereas Felix and Nkunku can also play in that positions.
