Despite a quiet January window that saw only two first-team additions and the recall of Trevoh Chalobah, Chelsea's transfer activity is not over. The focus now turns to striker Deivid Washington, a highly-rated Brazilian signing acquired for over £17m in 2023. Washington, who has made just 10 senior starts and scored two goals, has struggled to settle in and has been outperformed by homegrown talents. Currently playing in the South American Under-20 Championship for his country, Washington is expected to return to Santos after the tournament. With the Brazilian transfer window open until February 28, Chelsea have just over three weeks to finalise a deal regarding his future. The decision is described as confusing, as the club weighs whether Washington can be given a productive spell to justify his cost or if his situation will result in a loss, especially when compared to emerging talents like Estevao Willian, whose performances have been impressive.
