"Chelsea are set to make an attacking midfielder a priority in the transfer market in the coming year after missing out on Xavi Simons in the summer, CaughtOffside understands. The Blues had a busy summer bringing in exciting talents such as Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho, but their recruitment team continues to be busy assessing future targets."
"Sources with a close understanding of Chelsea's plans have informed CaughtOffside that the west London giants will now focus on Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers as one of their top targets for January or next summer. Chelsea's interest in signing Rogers is no secret, with the England international having been on their radar during the summer, while other top clubs have also been impressed by his form for Villa."
"Sources have also informed CaughtOffside that Juventus' Kenan Yildiz is on Chelsea's radar, along with Lyon's Malick Fofana. Although Tottenham ended up winning the race for Xavi Simons, Chelsea were also really keen on bringing him in as well as Garnacho late on in the window. In the end, only Garnacho was possible, but CFC will set aside funds for at least one more top attacking midfield player in the months ahead."
Chelsea plan to prioritize signing an attacking midfielder in the upcoming transfer windows after failing to secure Xavi Simons in the summer. The club added talents like Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho but continues scouting further recruits. Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa is a primary target for January or next summer, with Chelsea already monitoring him amid interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Juventus' Kenan Yildiz and Lyon's Malick Fofana are alternative options if Rogers proves too costly or complex. Chelsea will allocate funds to pursue at least one additional top attacking midfielder.
