“They’re looking at options” – Chief scout drops some exciting Chelsea transfer news | OneFootball

A former Chief scout has just dropped some pretty exciting Chelsea transfer news that Blues fans will very much welcome hearing about.

Chelsea are just off the back of a Premier League victory against Southampton from earlier this week, but they very much need more reinforcements signed and improvements in some key areas on the pitch.

The Blues won the game 4-0 in what was a much needed convincing performance, with goals coming from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill, and Marc Cucurella.

EXCLUSIVE! Whose jobs will be at risk at Chelsea if they do not get UCL football this season?

The Saints were a very poor opposition of course, but Chelsea really needed a big win and a big performance, and that is exactly what they did last night right in the nick of time as they look to keep challenging for that all important Champions League spot.

Neto was superb playing as the number 9 and as well as getting his goal, he has explained why he loves playing as a striker with a hilarious answer!

Come the summer though, we are expecting some more big signings in some areas in the spine of the team.

Chelsea want a defender and a goalkeeper

Chelsea are planning to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer as Enzo Maresca is keen on an overhaul of his defensive unit at Stamford Bridge.

That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that both Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen are seen as replaceable.

“It’s a position they’re going to have to look at,” said Brown.

“Chelsea have always shown that if there’s a player they want and they feel will improve their team, they’re prepared to spend huge fees to go and get him.

“They spent a lot of money on Kepa [Arrizabalaga], they spent money on Sanchez.

“Eventually, people will ask questions about the money they’ve spent without much success.

“But until they find somebody who can be their standout first-choice, I expect that spending to continue.

“It’s such an important position, because a lot of what they do directly impacts the defence, and that has been such a big problem for Maresca this season.

“They need to sort out the defence, and while they’re looking at options at centre-back, having a steady goalkeeper is just as important.

“I think that’s going to be an area of the pitch they invest in heavily when the window opens.”
