Chelsea wants to sign Marc Guehi

There has again been some fresh reports in the media which have claimed that CHELSEA wants to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi now that the January tranafer window is open

Enzo Maresca has done a wonderful job at Chelsea so far this season and the Blues are now in the race to challenge for that Premier League title, but that hasnt stopped all the speculation about the players that the Blues could look to sign.

Guehi has been brilliant for Crystal Palace over the past few seasons, his stock in the game has really risen and he is now rated as one of the best central defenders in the Premier League and a player that Chelsea have been linked with signing, for a fee of £70 million.

The reports claim that a number of players are being lined up by the Blues to improve certain areas of the side, and adding a new centre-back that is already proven in the Premier League is something the board are very much open too.

And amid all the speculation and rumours, Stanley has claimed that Guéhi’s success at Crystal Palace has proven his ability to perform consistently at the highest level, and could be a great addition to that Blues back-line, he said: ‘One of Chelsea’s glaring issues has been the absence of a vocal and commanding presence in defense. He is already captain material at Crystal Palace, could fill this void.

‘His ability to organize the backline and remain composed under pressure would bring much-needed stability.

‘Guéhi’s ball-playing ability makes him an ideal fit for a manager like Enzo Maresca, who values defenders capable of building from the back. His accurate passing and comfort in possession would complement Chelsea’s modern, possession-heavy approach.

‘Re-signing Marc Guéhi would address multiple concerns for Chelsea: improving defensive solidity, injecting leadership, and securing a homegrown talent. With the Blues desperate for defensive consistency, Guéhi’s return could be a pivotal step in their quest to challenge for that Premier League title once again.’

‘For the right amount of money, he could be a very good signing for CHELSEA and a man that needs to make that step up in the game.’
