Report: Liam Rosenior makes transfer demand, it’s bad news for several Chelsea stars

Liam Rosenior has made it clear he wants a starting quality centre back signed this summer according to reports.

The Blues have paid the price for not signing a replacement for Levi Colwill, who suffered an ACL injury before the start of the season.

Chelsea tried to do a deal for Jeremy Jacquet in January, but failed in their pursuit as the France under-21 international opted for Liverpool instead.

Liam Rosenior wants starting quality centre back

Chelsea have had real issues defensively this season, with a number of costly individual mistakes being made, which have caused dropped points.

The Blues have kept just four clean sheets since Rosenior arrived with three of those against Port Vale, Pafos and Hull City.

A top centre back has to be the priority this summer, and the Blues have been linked with Nottingham Forest’s Murillo.

Football London have reported Chelsea are prioritising signing a centre back this summer, and want to add starting level quality in that position.

The arrival of new centre back is bad news for the likes of Josh Acheampong and Benoit Badiashile who are already struggling for minutes.

It’s been officially confirmed that fifth place in the Premier League will once again get Champions League football.

It’s a boost for Chelsea who currently sit sixth, one point behind Liverpool, but the Blues will need to have a really strong finish to the season to stand any chance.

The next two games against Manchester City and Manchester United require at least four points, otherwise the prospect of missing out again becomes very real.
