Enzo Maresca said he is prioritising signing a new defender after Levi Colwill underwent surgery on an ACL injury this week. Colwill played a key role for the Blues last season and at the Club World Cup, but is now set to miss most of next season after he was injured in training this week.

Enzo Maresca hinted that Chelsea will dip back into the transfer market after the serious injury sustained by defender Levi Colwill. Colwill played a crucial role in Maresca’s first season, but will miss the majority of the upcoming campaign after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury on the first day of Chelsea’s pre-season.

Chelsea have been busy in the transfer window so far, and their spending spree is showing no signs of slowing down.
