Chelsea’s Potential Starting XI Featuring One New Signing That Could Compete For Titles Next Season

opera.com 2024/10/5

Chelsea are showing no signs of slowing down in their quest to reclaim a spot in the Champions League and vie for major titles, according to TalkSport.

The club's spending spree continues, following a hefty £600 million outlay on new signings in 2023. This transfer window has already seen over £50 million spent.

One of the notable acquisitions is midfielder Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, who joined Chelsea from Leicester City for £30 million, reuniting with new manager Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge.

Additionally, teenage talent Omari Kellyman was brought in from Aston Villa for £19 million.

Chelsea also secured 18-year-old forward Marc Guiu from Barcelona, activating his £5.07 million release clause.

Another move was signing center-back Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham, where he chose not to renew his contract.

Despite these huge investments, Chelsea are still looking to strengthen their squad, with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen reportedly on their radar.

To balance the books, the club has already sold academy graduate Ian Maatsen to Aston Villa for over £35 million, and the futures of Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja remain uncertain.

In goal, it is expected that Robert Sanchez will become the first-choice goalkeeper under Maresca, taking over from Djordje Petrovic.

Reece James, serving a three-match suspension at the start of the season, is expected to resume his role at right-back. Marc Cucurella, who had a solid previous season, will likely hold the left-back position.

In central defense, Levi Colwill is expected to partner Tosin Adarabioyo, while Wesley Fofana, who missed the last season due to a knee injury, will be gradually reintroduced into the squad.

Midfield duties could see Moises Caicedo in a defensive role, with Enzo Fernandez and Dewsbury-Hall in more advanced positions, assuming Gallagher departs.

Cole Palmer, after an impressive first season with Chelsea, is poised to take up the right-wing position.

Mykhailo Mudryk could be favored over Raheem Sterling on the left, showing why his transfer fee was justified.

Leading the attack could be Victor Osimhen, provided Chelsea can secure his transfer from Napoli.

The Nigerian striker has expressed a strong interest in playing in the Premier League, making him a prime target for the Blues.
