10) Ousmane Diomande (Sporting Lisbon)

Chelsea are interested in Ivorian centre-back Ousmane Diomande, who has impressed with his physicality and defensive prowess at Sporting Lisbon.
At just 20 years old, Diomande has already established himself as a reliable defender in the Portuguese league.
Chelsea see Diomande as a long-term solution to their defensive issues. His aerial ability and composure under pressure make him a promising addition to their backline.
Negotiations with Sporting Lisbon could be tricky, but Chelsea are determined to strengthen their defensive options.
Chelsea’s January transfer targets highlight their intent to address weaknesses in both attack and defense.
By pursuing a mix of established stars like Kvaratskhelia and young talents like Essugo, the Blues aim to build a squad capable of achieving long-term success.
Whether they can secure these signings will be crucial to shaping their season and future aspirations.
