Six strategic moves Chelsea should contemplate in the upcoming January transfer window. These include offloading fringe players to streamline the squad, addressing the goalkeeping situation due to Robert Sanchez's inconsistent performances, and reinforcing the right-back position to provide cover for Reece James. Additionally, it suggests securing a reliable backup for Christopher Nkunku to maintain attacking depth, considering the future of Ben Chilwell amid limited playing time, and evaluating the midfield composition to ensure balance and competitiveness.
Goalkeeper Reinforcement: Chelsea should consider acquiring a dependable goalkeeper to either challenge or replace Robert Sanchez, whose performances have been inconsistent.
Right-Back Cover: With Reece James' injury history, securing a competent right-back to provide adequate cover and competition is essential.
Squad Streamlining: Offloading fringe players who are not contributing significantly can help maintain squad harmony and reduce wage expenditures.
