Chelsea have reportedly added Honest Ahanor to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Atalanta defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Chelsea are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Arsenal and Liverpool are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Across the season 25/26, Chelsea have let in 49 goals in 36 (1.36 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Honest Ahanor would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Speculation continues to connect Chelsea with Maxime Esteve, Alex Grimaldo and Andrea Cambiaso while no fresh rumours surround Atalanta.
