Media reports have revealed Chelsea's moves to start strengthening its ranks under the leadership of their new coach Liam Rossiniore, with a focus on bolstering the back line during the winter transfer window.

According to the British newspaper "Telegraph," Chelsea is now ready to sign a new defender in January, a step that represents an acceleration of a plan originally scheduled for next summer. This change came after the injury to Levi Colwell, which ended his season, an injury that previously prompted former coach Enzo Mariska to call for reinforcement in this position, but at that time, there was no response.

The newspaper pointed out that Chelsea's management had planned to complete the deal in the summer transfer window after the current season ends, but circumstances pushed the club to bring it forward to the winter market.

The list of potential targets includes Jeremy Jakie from Rennes and Jacopo Ramon, a defender from Como, as part of the search for quick solutions to strengthen the defense.

In a related context, Chelsea plans to sign a new midfielder and a new striker during the summer, while keeping the door open to consider offers in January if suitable opportunities arise.
