While all three positions have valid arguments for investment, the biggest concern remains in attack, as Chelsea desperately need more goals and support for Nicolas Jackson. A new winger would not address the team’s primary weakness, even though Mykhailo Mudryk faces a possible ban for a doping violation. Midfield reinforcements are also needed due to Romeo Lavia’s injury issues and Moises Caicedo’s growing fatigue, but Chelsea could recall Andrey Santos or Lesley Ugochukwu from their loans instead of making a new signing. This leaves the centre-forward role as the clear priority, but quality strikers are typically the most expensive to acquire—especially in January. Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap has emerged as a strong option, particularly after his standout performance in Ipswich’s 2-0 win over Chelsea last month. Delap’s ability to hold up play, make runs in behind, and score goals makes him an ideal candidate to take the pressure off Jackson and add more firepower to the squad.
