This month alone, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, and Andrey Santos have all joined the Blues. But, Chelsea still continues to look for a new midfielder.
After a £29 million cost was agreed upon between the two clubs, PSV Eindhoven forward Noni Madueke appears to be Chelsea’s sixth addition, but it appears that the club’s executives aren’t done yet.
In Pursuit of another midfielder signing: Chelsea
Additionally, on Thursday afternoon, O’Rourke shared a story for Football Insider on Twitter about Chelsea and a new midfielder.
He said that the Blues are close to making yet another signing. Advanced negotiations are ongoing for a midfielder.
“Understand Chelsea are close to signing a new midfielder. Talks are at an advanced stage with the mystery target with Graham Potter looking to bring in a new central midfielder to add to his squad.”

Who Could it be?
A number of players are connected with a move to London. It appears like Chelsea has been searching for a new central midfielder for some time. Only three midfielders have been the subject of rumors: Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez, West Ham’s Declan Rice, and Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.

Furthermore, with the majority of new hires at the back and in attack, Madueke will bring the club’s total January spending to £190 million. It explains why a new midfielder may now be on the cards.
If this unidentified target can play a number of midfield positions, it should help Graham Potter because Jorginho is currently the only holding midfielder available due to the injuries to N’Golo Kante and Denis Zakaria.
