Sources: A new centre midfielder is also still a possibility for January

It might not quite be as 'quiet' as what is being predicted - THREE named targets in this!

Nobody is expecting a busy January window at Chelsea, not even our sources are expecting that, as we reported last week.

But there are certainly some situations that could brew up. One of those is the striker situations, as I reported earlier today with a sourced article on the home page - go check that out if you’ve missed it.

As well as striker situations, there are midfield situations going on too. I’ve not been able to find out how bad the Romeo Lavia injury is, but I don’t think it’s great. Dario Essugo came back and then got re-injured - although that’s not expected to be too bad.

Then in general, Moises Caicedo has been and still is, playing with an injury, so is Enzo Fernandez. We know Reece James can’t start every game because he is being wisely managed. Andrey Santos right now is probably our only fully fit and fully reliable centre midfielder.

So there is a belief that Chelsea might be smart to add another midfielder who can cover a few of the positions centrally.
