Chelsea Eye Marc Guehi to Address Defensive Crisis
Amid growing concerns in Chelsea’s backline, Marc Guehi has emerged as a top target for the Blues. Former Chelsea coach and current Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca heaped praise on the Crystal Palace star, calling him “one of the best defenders in the Premier League.” Maresca believes that bringing Guehi back could “perfectly solve” Chelsea’s defensive struggles.
The urgency for reinforcements stems from the long-term absences of Wesley Fofana, sidelined for the entire season, and Benoît Badiashile, who remains unavailable. Chelsea, once known for their defensive solidity, has faced challenges this season and needs a reliable solution to bolster their squad.
Marc Guehi, who left Chelsea’s academy to join Crystal Palace in 2021, has flourished under Patrick Vieira and Roy Hodgson, earning plaudits for his calm composure, leadership, and versatility. Palace is reportedly demanding £70m for their star player, a hefty fee that Chelsea may be willing to pay to secure his services.
With the January transfer window open and pressure mounting, Chelsea fans eagerly await a move that could transform their season. Will the Blues break the bank to bring Guehi home and solve their defensive woes? Only time will tell.
