'It could be this window': Romano on Chelsea's plans to sign defender

Fabrizio Romano has shared his insight on Chelsea's likely incoming transfers this transfer window and the next. The journalist expects a centre-back to be high on the priority list.

“I think Chelsea are looking for a new defender in general," Romano reports. "It could be this window or in the summer.

"But Chelsea are looking into the centre-back market because they want to sign a player in that position, especially if Chalobah leaves.

"So, the idea is to go for that kind of player, a centre-back with a good personality.

"So, they already know what they want in that position, and they're looking at the centre-back market.

"But it's not guaranteed to be the winter window because many players are unavailable.”

Todibo, Diomande and Guehi are some of the names that are being linked to Chelsea with a potential transfer in while there is also Malang Sarr along with Chalobah who is being linked with a move away from the club.
