TA: Chelsea will not buy Colville substitute, they also want to sign 1 winger + 1 offensive midfielder

August 12th, TA updated Chelsea's latest transfer updates in this weekly transfer report.

Chelsea did not panic about Colville's injury, and did not think it was necessary to find a replacement in the summer window.

This is exactly why they have accumulated such a deep roster in the past two and a half years: Even if Colville is out, Chelsea still has as many as 10 first-team players competing for four defensive positions. Maresca trusts Chaloba and Adarabioyu, and Fofana is about to recover completely. Harto is also capable of being a central defender. In addition, Chelsea has options such as Badiacile, Achimpon and Anselmino.

Chelsea still hopes to sign a winger and an offensive midfielder until the transfer window is closed. And their signing goals at each position are well known.

Garacho is Chelsea's first choice for the left winger and can compete with Gittens. Another issue is that Simmons, Chelsea and Leipzig have already negotiated informally on his transfer, but have not made a formal offer yet. Chelsea are also optimistic about Villa's Rodgers, believing that he is likely to be competent for the attacking midfielder.
