Chelsea did little to address the issues that have been exposed in their recent Premier League struggles during the January transfer window.

Chelsea’s continued pursuit of a winger and striker speaks volumes. Nicolas Jackson is on his longest scoring drought at the club (eight games) and Mudryk’s suspension for failing a doping test means inexperienced 19-year-old Tyrique George is being asked to step up.

Enzo Maresca will be able to make changes to the squad that Chelsea named for the competition back in September. UEFA rules state that clubs can add signings from the January window to their squads, but only once the league phase has been completed.

Time is running out for Chelsea to complete their January transfer business as head coach Enzo Maresca looks to shape his squad for the remainder of the season.
