Three players Chelsea could sign in January transfer window

After a mixed first half of the season, Chelsea will look to improve their form in the ongoing transfer window.

It is seen that some position will be under Pochettino's special attention when it comes to signing new players at Stamford Bridge. One of such positions is a striker. The Blues are yet to secure a consistent forward.

Another substantial spending period may be in the offing for the London side, contingent on club officials finding ways to navigate the regulations governing Financial Fair Play.

Below are three players that Chelsea could sign in the ongoing transfer window:

Victor Osimhen (striker)

Osimhen remains Chelsea's top signing priority currently, as the club is in need of a standout striker in the squad. Whether Chelsea secure his services in the near term or during the summer, reports suggest that they are prepared to make a substantial financial commitment to acquire the Napoli star.

The strained relationship between the Nigerian striker and Napoli due to an ongoing contract dispute could potentially work in favor of Chelsea's pursuit. Recent reports indicate that Chelsea might explore the possibility of finalizing a deal that involves agreeing on a fee for the player at the moment but deferring the payment until the next transfer window.

Matty Cash (right-back)

Given Reece James' prolonged injury absence, there is a possibility that Chelsea may consider recruiting a new right-back. Matty Cash has emerged as a potential candidate, with links to a move to Stamford Bridge. Vila are already looking to sign a replacement for Cash. 

The Poland international has showcased his skills at Aston Villa, featuring in 15 Premier League starts this season. However, luring Cash away from a successful Villa side to join Chelsea, currently facing challenges, could pose a challenging task.

Mike Maignan (goalkeeper)

Following Robert Sanchez’s injury during Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Everton, Pochettino is set to pursue a new goalkeeper with Mike Maignan the main target. 

If the Blues seek a lasting solution, Maignan would be a suitable choice. The French goalkeeper has excelled with AC Milan, securing the Serie A title in 2022. However, with Milan trailing behind Inter, there might be a willingness to sell Maignan.
