Enzo Maresca says he thinks Chelsea need a new centre-back to replace the injured Levi Colwill.
"We are trying to find a solution internally, but the club knows exactly what I think and we will see what happens," he said on Friday. "I think we need a central defender."
Yet Chelsea are not inclined to reenter the market this summer to bolster the defensive ranks, with their logic informed by three main factors:
Confidence in the depth that has been amassed in this squad
A lack of suitable options available in this window
Full faith in Maresca and his coaching staff to work with and improve the talent at his disposal

FC Bayern have made concrete enquiries for #Xavi Simons in recent days - but a deal is very unlikely to happen for several reasons.

A potential departure of Christopher Nkunku (talks ongoing with FC Bayern) could be crucial for Chelsea’s next steps regarding Xavi.
