Chelsea’s January window has primarily focused on player sales and loan departures, but with the team struggling since Christmas, fans are eager for reinforcements. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Chelsea are “working” to sign a midfielder before the deadline to support Enzo Maresca. The lack of fit defensive midfielders has left Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo overworked, particularly with Romeo Lavia injured. However, some fans are questioning the logic of signing a new midfielder when Chelsea already have Andrey Santos and Lesley Ugochukwu out on loan. Maresca has ruled out recalling them, suggesting the club may prioritise their development or future sales over immediate squad depth.
