Chelsea’s midfield overhaul is expected to continue this summer. The signing of Enzo Fernandez is just one piece of the jigsaw as another fresh face is expected to arrive through the doors of Stamford Bridge. Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia is considered a target for the summer transfer window and there are chances that the Blues will launch strong attempts to sign the youngster.

Chelsea sold Jorginho to Arsenal on the winter transfer deadline day. The futures of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mateo Kovacic are also hanging in the air as they could leave Chelsea in the summer. Conor Gallagher is another midfielder that could be sold as CFC are open to listening to offers for the Englishman. N’Golo Kante is expected to sign a new deal with the Blues and extend his stay but even after extending, CFC will be left bare minimum options in the midfield.

Denis Zakaria’s loan deal expires at the end of the season and Chelsea does not seem interested in activating the £30 million buy option. Youngster Carney Chukwuemeka has impressed in cameo appearances but he still needs to be polished to be able to challenge for starting roles regularly.
