Chelsea have transfer plans in place as Enzo Maresca makes two priorities

While fans may be hoping for immediate January reinforcements, reports suggest the Blues are instead taking a more measured and strategic approach. According to The Standard, Chelsea's key priorities lie further down the line, with major recruitment plans centred on 2026 rather than the upcoming winter window. The club are particularly keen to strengthen two crucial areas: central defense and central midfield.

Sources: Chelsea map out January transfer strategy with top targets named

Chelsea's plans for the January transfer window are beginning to take shape, with midfield reinforcement emerging as the club's primary objective. With Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo carrying an enormous workload in the centre of the pitch, the Blues are keen to add a dynamic, high-energy midfielder who can provide rotation, balance, and long-term value. While attacking additions are not considered urgent, several high-profile and high-potential names remain firmly on Chelsea's shortlist, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

"Chelsea's stance..." - Journalist reveals Man City interest in surprise CFC transfer raid

Could Chelsea lose Josh Acheampong? Acheampong is surely good enough to be playing more often than he has been, with the 19-year-old managing just five Premier League appearances so far this term. There's always bound to be competition at a big club like Chelsea, but central defence is not even a position where Enzo Maresca is blessed with that much quality or depth.

Palmer and Gusto sink lacklustre Everton to end Chelsea's winless run

A win for Chelsea, a much-needed once after four games without, and in many ways a routine one and yet it was also a game that highlighted the oddity of Enzo Maresca's side. He has a squad packed with extraordinary talent, capable of passages of exceptional football, but they are also wildly inconsistent, even within individual games. They won easily, could have won more easily, and also had spells when the game threatened to slip from their grasp.

Reason why Barcelona did not sign Chelsea wonderkid who tormented them in 3-0 loss | Barca Universal

Tuesday night saw FC Barcelona fall to a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge, further hindering their chances of securing a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Blaugrana were thoroughly outplayed by Enzo Maresca's team from the start, with their problems only being compounded by Ronald Araujo's red card in the first half. One of the stars that shone the brightest for Chelsea on the night was Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian - a name very familiar to Barcelona. The 18-year-old sensation was a threat going forward and even scored a brilliant goal early in the second half to make it 2-0. However, it could all have been very different for Estevao.
