We’re almost a month into January and there’s no sign of Chelsea making any significant signings. Instead, the focus has been on offloading players and managing our loaned out squad members. Fans hoping for a repeat of the exciting January transfer window in 2023 will be disappointed.
One rumour that continues to circulate is the potential transfer of Nice defender Jean Clair Todibo. With Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana injured, and Thiago Silva set to leave, it’s clear that Chelsea are in need of a new centre back.
According to Telefoot, we are competing with Napoli and Spurs for Todibo’s signature, although it looks like he will stay put until the summer. It seems that Nice will be open to selling him after that, but whether Chelsea will be able to afford him remains to be seen. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining our transfer activity.
