In the midst of pursuing a new forward, there is a strong chance Chelsea will add another defender. Romano has hinted that Chelsea might bring in multiple central defensive options.
“It will continue to be a busy summer at Chelsea,” said Romano in his Daily Briefing. “It won’t be completely crazy, but they will try to make smart moves, including signing a new goalkeeper. I expect them to try for at least one new center-back, but it could be two. Chelsea will also be active in the striker market.”
