Chelsea Target Defensive Reinforcements: Marc Guehi and Trevoh Chalobah Among Options
Chelsea are actively exploring the possibility of adding a new center-back to their squad during the January transfer window. Internal discussions have included Marc Guehi as a potential target, though a move for the Crystal Palace defender could prove challenging. Guehi, a former Chelsea academy graduate, has 18 months remaining on his current contract at Palace, making negotiations complex but not impossible.
The Blues are also considering utilizing their recall clause for Trevoh Chalobah, who is currently on loan. Bringing Chalobah back would offer an in-house solution to bolster their defensive options without entering the transfer market.
With Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino eager to strengthen the backline amid injuries and squad depth concerns, both options are being weighed carefully. Guehi’s experience in the Premier League and Chalobah’s familiarity with Chelsea’s system make them appealing choices.
The January window presents a crucial opportunity for Chelsea to reinforce their squad as they aim to climb the Premier League table. Fans will be watching closely to see how the club addresses its defensive needs in the coming weeks.
