Chelsea are weighing up signing another new centre back in the final weeks of this summer’s transfer window.

There is a lot of movement still expected now at Chelsea after they will return from their pre-season tour.

They are still trying to shift a bunch of players and that is the priority still right now, and we are expecting to see a number of centre backs head out the door on permanent and loan moves.

So, we’ve been hearing for weeks now that Chelsea are looking to bring in one more new centre back, and they did try to bring John Stones as well as Maxence Lacroix.
