It’s crisis again at Chelsea. On Sunday, the Blues lost Reece James to injury, in addition to the match against Everton (2-0). Another nightmarish Premier League day for the current 12th in the championship. Despite indecent purchases during the last transfer markets, Mauricio Pochettino is fumbling at the controls, also not helped by a workforce decimated by physical problems. Winter is expected in South West London. The Standard reports that the Argentine coach is not satisfied with his group and has identified three priorities for the winter transfer window: a defender, a central midfielder and a striker. Just that.
If the name of Jonathan Tah was recently mentioned, the Blues already have a lot of options in this position with Disasi, Badiashile, Colwill, Thiago Silva, without forgetting Wesley Fofana or Trevoh Chalobah, both injured. In the midfield, Roméo Lavia has still not played a single minute in the blue tunic and his absence is felt. Up front, Chelsea obviously lack a top striker capable of finishing plays. A recurring problem since the departure of Diego Costa in… 2018. If Nicolas Jackson has potential, just like Armando Broja, the two nuggets lack experience. Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney are being tracked, while awaiting the return of Nkunku, who will have to wear the savior’s cape to guide Chelsea to the top of the table.
