Chélatin the middle of their Negotiations in progress for Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnachomust also find a solution to their defensive shortage.

The West Londoners envisaged a central defender even before the Levi Colwill’s nightmare injury (Simon Phillips), but these plans were put more in the foreground with their cobham academy graduate about to miss about six to nine months.

“Well, they explored new central backs before that, and the proof is in the pudding because they tried to sign Dean Huijsen and failed, then tried for Jarrad Branthwaite after that, but its price was far too high.

“Sources said this week that the club was discussing a new center again, and although we do not yet have solid names and that we will update accordingly when we do, we are talking about a potential loan agreement for a return to the incoming center.

“Chelsea is still aroused an interest in Antonio Silva de Benfica, but the sound of Marc Guehi is dying because he prefers to go elsewhere at the moment.

“For the moment, everything is always taken into account, but at this stage, I would be surprised if Chelsea no longer signs a new center.
