Reece James, a defender for Chelsea, is still recovering from an injury, but the Blues still lack a capable replacement for the England international when he is out.
The World Cup in Qatar is being watched by Chelsea supporters, who are keeping a close eye on potential new players for the Blues. Todd Boehly, who spent nearly £300 million over the summer, appears set to support Graham Potter in January.
If the Blues want to finish in the top four at the end of the season, they must strengthen a number of crucial positions in Potter’s squad. Reece James’ injury in October was a major setback for the Blues because the English defender has a big impact on both the offence and defence of Chelsea.
James’ two-month-old knee injury against AC Milan prevented him from being included in the England World Cup roster. Chelsea strengthened the defence by bringing in Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Wesley Fofana, but they were unable to bring in a strong James backup.
Denzel Dumfries was reportedly interested in moving to Stamford Bridge over the summer, and there were rumours that he might have been traded for Romelu Lukaku, who had returned to Inter on loan earlier this year. According to football.london, many Blues supporters urged Boehly to sign the Dutch wing-back after Dumfries provided two assists for the Netherlands against the United States.
Dumfries… okay

@cfckel tweeted: “Dumfries… okay. Chelsea get the cheque ready.” @Kashimaw_o was also impressed with the 26-year-old’s first half performance, posting: “Denzel Dumfries playing good football at RWB former Chelsea target *eyes emoji*.”
@MilanEns1 tweeted: “Chelsea should sign Denzel Dumfries for €60m.” CIES Football Observatory values Dumfries at €50million (£42million) and @cfc_positive_ posted: “If Chelsea sign James’ backup then it’s Dumfries. They are monitoring him for a long time.”
@TOSOTC_CFC posted: “2 x assist for Dumfries! Chelsea time to do the needful for January transfer window!!” @9OHmar clearly agrees after tweeting: ” WANT DENZEL DUMFRIES IN CHELSEA!!!!”
