Chelsea identify their new signing ahead of the January transfer window --[Reported by Umva mag]

According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea are looking to make a defensive addition to the squad in the January transfer window.

They are busy identifying their transfer targets and the Blues are willing to make a move for a player who can play as a centre-back as well as provide cover in the right-back position.

The Premier League giants have done well this season under the leadership of Italian manager Enzo Maresca.

They are currently in the top four of the Premier League and their form in the cup competitions have been impressive.

Maresca has managed to assemble a competitive squad at the club which is full of creative and attacking options. However, there is a need for a defender in the squad who can play in a number of different positions.

Chelsea have struggled this season with the fitness issues of captain Reece James and his injury prone nature may force them to sign a defender who can provide cover in the right-back position.

In 11 games in all competitions this season, Chelsea have conceded 12 goals which shows that they are weak at the back and their attacking quality cannot be matched by their defensive ability.
