Despite mounting pressure on manager Enzo Maresca and the club's ownership, Chelsea is opting for a restrained strategy in the January transfer window, resisting any panic buys.
This follows a substantial £266.5 million spending spree last summer which brought in players like João Pedro and Estevão. While the club showed brief interest in Bournemouth's £65 million-rated winger Antoine Semenyo, they have since stepped back, with the player now likely headed to Manchester City. This interest, however, underscores the club's ongoing focus on long-term attacking reinforcements.
The winter window is expected to be more active for departures. Players such as Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi could be moved on, while young striker Shim Mheuka may go out on loan. Manager Enzo Maresca's own future has also been reported as uncertain.
Chelsea's passing interest in Semenyo, who recently performed well against them, highlights the club's desire for proven Premier League scorers—a consistency they feel is lacking in some of their younger prospects.
