From the source

It’s less than two months until the January window opens, and Chelsea are considering new additions to bolster their hopes of Champions League qualification. A left-back could be targeted.

Only a couple of months ago, Chelsea spent little over £20m to land Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano. He and Jorrel Hato are Chelsea’s left-sided options, though Marco Palestra started there on Saturday.

But clearly, it remains a problem for Xabi Alonso. Now, reports claim Chelsea are eyeing a new left-back, one that has been consistently impressing in the Premier League and, more locally, in London.
