There’s just two days until the January transfer window opens and Chelsea are suddenly in a position where they need reinforcements.
The steady trickle of injuries combined with Covid absences tiring out the squad has left Chelsea high and dry at the most crucial part of the season, and we now look to have thrown away our title chances through a lack of depth.
The immediate remedy is to bring someone in who can play left back, and according to Sky Sports Italy reporter Angelo Mangiante we already have our “main goal” – Lucas Digne.
Lucas Digne is the ideal player to replace Chilwell. He is Premier League proven and he has already played very well in one season in Rome with Rudiger. Digne is very good defensively and his crossing ability is pretty great too.

His name has been mentioned a lot already, and it is a move that makes sense. Now we’ve got some of these insiders reporting it, we’re starting to believe there might be something too it.
The vital part is getting the deal over the line as soon as possible. There are 6 games in January and ideally whoever we sign will be able to play at least some of them.
