As the January transfer window draws to a close, Chelsea faces several critical issues that need to be resolved to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
According to 90min.com, Here are the key areas Chelsea must address:
1. Goalkeeper Upgrade Needed
Sanchez has looked vulnerable in goal.

Despite Robert Sanchez’s occasional strong performances, his errors this season have led to costly goals. With five errors directly resulting in goals, Chelsea must consider signing a new goalkeeper.
Djordje Petrovic hasn’t proven to be a reliable alternative, and the Blues need a top-class shot-stopper to shore up their defense.
2. Left-back Reinforcement
Ben Chilwell’s ongoing injuries and Renato Veiga’s loan departure have left Chelsea thin on options at left-back.
Marc Cucurella has started most games this season, but the club needs to bring in a solid backup to cover for injuries and provide competition for places.
The lack of depth in this position could prove detrimental to Chelsea’s season.
3. Midfield Depth
The injury-prone nature of Romeo Lavia has exposed Chelsea’s lack of midfield depth.
Moises Caicedo has been a consistent performer, but the heavy workload is taking its toll, and with more departures expected from the midfield, Chelsea urgently needs to strengthen this area.
Adding a reliable and versatile midfielder is crucial to sustaining their competitiveness.
4. Striker Solutions
Nicolas Jackson has struggled with a goal drought in recent weeks, underscoring Chelsea’s need for a reliable striker.
While there is potential for Jackson to develop, Chelsea should explore the market for an experienced forward who can contribute consistently.
A proven goal-scorer could make the difference in helping Chelsea finish the season strong.
