No panic signings! TA: Chelsea will not sign new central defenders this summer, and senior management firmly believes that the lineup is deep enough
Although Chelsea coach Maresca said at the pre-match press conference that the team needs a new central defender. But TA reports pointed out that Chelsea will not sign a new central defender this summer. The report explains the reason for Chelsea's decision. Although Colville suffered a serious injury, the Blues are confident in the depth of the team's lineup, and there is also a lack of suitable signing personnel in the transfer window this summer. In addition, Maresca and the coaching staff are confident in improving the level of current players.
Chelsea executives firmly believe that they have created the most in-depth lineup in the Premier League, especially in the central defender position. Maresca has as many as 10 defenders, and perhaps only Gusto is not good at the three-back formation.
In addition, Chelsea will not conduct panic signings. The club's current signing work is either a long-term investment in potential players or a targeted adjustment to the first-team lineup, rather than a large-scale rectification.
The risk of overreacting to Colville's injury and making mistakes in the transfer market this summer is considerable, especially if there is no clear goal. Once Colville returns to health, the future of the replacement can also cause problems.
