The1905.Club Summary

With just days left in the window, Chelsea remain active in the market as they look to reinforce their squad following a poor run of form. Despite calls for a new goalkeeper and centre-back, the club has opted to recall Trevoh Chalobah rather than invest in defensive reinforcements. Their main focus now is signing an attacking player, with Alejandro Garnacho and Mathys Tel among their top targets. Garnacho, with 12 goal contributions this season, appears to be the more productive option, but Tel’s versatility and potential make him an attractive alternative.

Key Points

  • Chelsea want to sign a striker, winger, and possibly a midfielder before February 3rd.
  • They have ruled out bringing in a new goalkeeper or defender this window.
  • Robert Sanchez has struggled, but Chelsea will not replace him mid-season.
  • A move for Marc Guehi was considered but instead, Trevoh Chalobah was recalled.
  • Mathys Tel (£40m) and Alejandro Garnacho (£60m) are two key attacking targets.
  • Garnacho has been more productive this season, with seven goals and five assists.
  • Tel has struggled for game time at Bayern but remains a long-term prospect.
