Following the recent defensive turmoil that the London-based club is going through, the club has decided to bring in reinforcements to provide auxiliary support for completing their objectives.
Chelsea manager, Rafael Benitez is under serious pressure following the team’s shaky performances. The Spaniard has blamed the team’s defensive woes for their previous defeats. The Spaniard intends to bring Olympique Lyonnais full-back, Dejan Lovren, who
has been a consistent performer for the French outfit.
Rafael Benitez has proven to his critics that he means business since his arrival at the Stamford Bridge. The manager is doing all he can to help the squad to return to their former winning form. And to successfully accomplish that, Benitez believes that
a few signings should be made, while others who have not done well, should be asked to leave.
Among the players included in the shopping list for Chelsea, Benitez has also included the 23-year-old, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international established himself well, soon after his arrival to the Stamford Bridge. However, the recent dip in his performances has fuelled the speculations linking to a potential departure from the club.
Luiz is sought by several clubs, including Russian powerhouse, CSKA Moscow and the player’s former club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SL-Benfica-c40542. However, Chelsea would be reluctant to sell the centre-back, provided a suitable replacement doesn’t arrive at Stamford Bridge.
On the other hand, Lovren is the player that exhibits the same qualities as the former Benfica player. And given Lyon’s intent to sell this transfer window, the Croatian can be lured to London. Chelsea seem to have the spending power to convince the defender
to move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, thanks to the club’s owner, Roman Abramovich.
The manager feels satisfied with his current attacking options. The Blues managed to book themselves a semi-final spot in the Capitol One Cup, as they defeated Leeds United 5-1 in the knock-out tournament.
However, Chelsea have been unable to defend their title as European Champions this season, as they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Moreover, the London-based club also lost the final of the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Corinthians-c38855.
