Blues fans told board are looking to bring centre-back to Chelsea
Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano has opened up and claimed that Chelsea are actively looking for a new centre-back to bring to the club in the next couple of transfer windows, with Tomas Araujo of Benfica a player that the Blues admire.
Chelsea have spent some serious money in the last couple of transfer windows and added players to the side that they believed would take the club forward and back challenging for Champions League and Premier League football.
But despite the clubs quality attacking ability, there has been some issues that is causing Enzo Maresca at the back as the club have been unable to fill the leadership void that Thiago Silva left after he decided to depart the club and top level football.
Fabrizio Romano has shared a key update about the situation on his youtube channel. He said that the Blues are actively looking for centre back and also revealed their top priority.
‘CHELSEA are actively monitoring the centre-back market,’ Romano said. ‘Let’s see if it’s going to be January, let’s see if it’s going to be summer.
‘It’s not guaranteed it’s going to be January because in the last days of the summer transfer window, Chelsea were considering to bring in a new centre-back. For example, a player they are in love with is Tomas Araujo at Benfica.
‘They were considering a move for him, but then nothing happened because Benfica were not selling an important player a few days before the end of the transfer window.
‘Now, I can confirm to you once again that they are monitoring the market. They are following players.’

Adding a bit of experience to the side is something that would help this very young CHELSEA side, they need some leadership in key areas of the pitch. So even though a young centre-back is probably wanted, they need a proven defender to be signed.
