Chelsea is in search of a new right-back due to ongoing concerns about the physical condition of their captain, Reece James, who has suffered several injuries throughout his career.

The London club has identified a list of five players who could fill the position, with Jules Koundé and Jeremie Frimpong being the most prominent names. Both defenders have the experience and quality to start at Stamford Bridge, and their arrival could strengthen Enzo Maresca's team defense for the second half of the season.

Despite Chelsea's numerous signings in recent transfer windows, the Italian coach is not entirely satisfied with certain areas of his squad, particularly at right-back. During the recent victory against Bournemouth, Axel Disasi filled in that position due to Malo Gusto and Reece James' absence, raising concerns about the need to reinforce that area of the field.

In addition to Koundé and Frimpong, Chelsea has also set its sights on young talents like Kiliann Sildillia, Michael Kayode, and Geovany Quenda, who could provide long-term solutions. The interest in Kayode has been particularly notable, as the Fiorentina player has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Tottenham, who came close to signing him last summer.

Chelsea seeks to stay ahead of its rivals in the upcoming winter transfer window, as Maresca believes that having a reliable right-back is crucial to maintaining competitiveness in the Premier League and European competitions.
