Enzo Maresca wants to sign another central midfielder

Head coach of Chelsea, Enzo Maresca, wants to acquire a midfielder in the winter transfer window, TEAMtalk reports.

Adam Wharton

According to the source, his priority option is Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace, but this transfer looks extremely difficult and expensive. A more realistic target for Chelsea could be Nico Paz from Como, and the Blues also have an interest in Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United.

At the moment, Chelsea is experiencing some personnel shortages in the center of the field due to injuries to Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia, while Enzo Fernández is forced to play through pain.

Therefore, Maresca feels that his team needs another midfielder for a successful performance in the second half of the season. Enzo wants to acquire a player who does not require time for adaptation.
