The full picture

Chelsea are looking to sign a midfielder in the January transfer window after losing Enzo Fernandez, with Alex Scott being their priority target. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a fan of their latest target, Harrison Armstrong. Dewsbury-Hall praised Armstrong, saying he has 'some engine on him' and 'won't stop running'. Chelsea are keeping an eye on the world's best teenage talent.

Harrison Armstrong has been touted as a potential signing for Chelsea in the January window. Armstrong is 19 but plays beyond his years, according to Dewsbury-Hall. Everton almost sold Armstrong to Nottingham Forest in the summer, indicating they are willing to sell big players. Chelsea have the cash to sign Armstrong, who would represent pure profit for Everton.

Everton's finances have improved since being handed a points deduction, but they are still not financially clear. They have converted £450.7m of shareholder loans into equity and secured £350m of long-term stadium financing. Chelsea can take advantage of Everton's willingness to sell big players to aid long-term gain. A big bid from Chelsea for Armstrong would likely be considered by Everton.

Source context

The January window is less than two months away and Chelsea are looking to bring a midfielder to the club after losing Enzo Fernandez. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a massive fan of their latest target. Alex Scott remains the priority, but plenty of midfielders have been touted with a move to Chelsea in the winter market. There is also a debate over whether Chelsea actually need to sign a midfielder in January. Romeo Lavia and Jordan Henderson have provided excellent foil for Moises Caicedo, with Reece James injured while Valentin Barco has impressed when given a chance.
