Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has stated that the club is not currently looking to sign a new centre-back, emphasizing confidence in the existing defensive options.
Maresca Confident in Current Defenders
Speaking to the media, Maresca addressed the speculation about Chelsea potentially signing a new central defender, stating:
> “New centre-back? At the moment, I think we are ok.”
The Italian coach believes the club already has enough depth in defense to manage the season.
Badiashile Nearing Return, Young Talent Impressing
Maresca highlighted the return of Benoît Badiashile from injury as a key boost to the squad. Additionally, he praised young defender Josh Acheampong for his progress. He further mentioned the presence of Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill as solid options in the center-back role:
> “We have Badiashile who is close to being back, we have Josh Acheampong who is doing well, Axel and Levi who can all do well in the position.”
Chelsea are unlikely to sign a new centre-back in the current window, with Maresca trusting his available options. With Badiashile’s return and young talents stepping up, the Blues seem prepared to rely on their current defensive lineup for the remainder of the season.
