CHELSEA are set for a revamp in midfield with World Cup star Enzo Fernandez amongst SIX targets, according to reports.

Graham Potter is looking to strengthen in the middle of the park after failing to find a settled trio since he arrived.

As a result, wholesale changes could be made to Chelsea's midfield in the coming months.

Jude Bellingham is their No.1 target, but they're likely to face stiff competition from both Real Madrid and Liverpool for his signature.

Declan Rice remains of interest, but the West Ham star's future is set to be decided in the summer.

That's why the Blues are also hoping to secure a January swoop for Fernandez and The Athletic claim they're keen on four others in that position.

Argentina team-mate Alexis Mac Allister is on their list along with Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who they targeted in the summer window.

They could make a second attempt to sign Ajax man Edson Alvarez after failing in their attempts on deadline day when Thomas Tuchel was manager.

Those potential arrivals could lead to this being Jorginho's final season at Stamford Bridge.

The Italy international is out of contract in 2023 and wants to return to Serie A.

N'Golo Kante is also set to become a free agent next summer, although he recently had a breakthrough over contract talks.

Meanwhile, Denis Zakaria's loan deal will expire at the end of the campaign and he'll return to Juventus, so the Blues need to bolster their midfield options.
