According to football London, Chelsea is preparing to make a late move for a prominent England player if the opportunity arises, with the club looking to strengthen their squad in the final days of the January transfer window. Manager Enzo Maresca has expressed interest in signing both a midfielder and a striker, according to reliable reporter Simon Phillips. Chelsea had considered reviving their pursuit of Jhon Duran, but the Colombian forward is now set to join Al-Nassr, leaving Chelsea to focus on reinforcing their striker position.
Maresca has made it clear that Chelsea will act quickly if a deal becomes available at the right price. A striker is a key target for the team not just in this window but also for the summer. In addition to the striker search, Chelsea remains interested in Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, who is reportedly in talks over a new contract at Old Trafford. Despite the difficulty in securing a deal for Mainoo, Chelsea is still monitoring the situation and is ready to move if the opportunity presents itself.
Chelsea is looking for a midfielder who can play both centrally and as a defensive pivot, especially with players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka potentially leaving. The club is willing to make a late move for Mainoo, although Manchester United is expected to demand around £70 million for him. Mainoo, who has shown impressive skills, particularly in dribbling, would be a valuable addition to Chelsea if they can secure his services.
