The 5-3 defeat in midweek, at the hands of the 2019 / 2020 Premier League champions, Liverpool, highlighted, once again, the defensive frailties that are apparent in Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.
This summer it is essential that these are addressed if Lampard is to strike that fine balance between brilliance in attack and rock-solid at the back.
I’m guessing we all have our own thoughts on who we’d like Chelsea to sign but, today, the inference is given by The Telegraph that Chelsea are showing an interest in the Uruguayan central defender, Joel Gimenez.
Gimenez, 25-years-of-age, is currently on the books of the La Liga side, Atletico Madrid and would, in my opinion, make a decent acquisition.
However, our source also goes on to imply that Lampard would have to sell a central defender to raise the capital.
If that is the case, which of the trio of Rudiger, Zouma or Christensen can you see being off-loaded?

Chelsea Linked With Not One But Two Keepers
Offload christensen
Offload christensen or rudiger
keep zouma to partner gimenez next season
Christensen …. Zouma & Rudiger have better potential
Rudiger out
Agree sell Christensen, play Zouma with gimenez, and keep Rudiger as cover.
I feel Christensen is not the type of defender we require.
Why? well he is too soft and the one element we require is a tough ,no frill defender to boss the back 3/4.
both christensen and rudigar should go buy alaba to play gimenez let zouma as backup
Zoma he wants to leave back to Everton anyway they need a player who can command
Alaba and kulibali will do a perfect job for Chelsea, leave Christensen, let Zuma and Rudiga go
Offload the three(3). they are all waste
