Chelsea have transfer plans in place as Enzo Maresca makes two priorities

Chelsea have begun laying the foundations for the next phase of their rebuild, with their long-term transfer priorities now coming into sharper focus as they attempt to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal.

While fans may be hoping for immediate January reinforcements, reports suggest the Blues are instead taking a more measured and strategic approach.

According to The Standard, Chelsea’s key priorities lie further down the line, with major recruitment plans centred on 2026 rather than the upcoming winter window.
