As Chelsea struggle for form, sitting sixth in the Premier League with just one win in their last seven league games, concerns are growing over their transfer priorities. With Champions League qualification at risk, many believe the club should be focusing on signing a proven striker and additional midfield cover. Instead, Chelsea are advancing a deal to sign 16-year-old Brazilian full-back Denner from Corinthians for £10.5m, a move viewed as part of their long-term investment in young talent. While Denner is considered a promising player, he will not be eligible to play for Chelsea until he turns 18 in 2026. Critics argue that Chelsea’s focus on stockpiling youth talent is coming at the expense of addressing immediate squad deficiencies, particularly in attack. With only days left in the transfer window, frustration is growing among fans who feel the club is missing an opportunity to strengthen the team for the present.
