Chelsea are determined to strengthen two positions during the winter transfer window, according to Daily Mail.

The Blues have had a fantastic campaign and they are presently fourth in the table with 35 points on the board.

The club are on course for Champions League qualification, but they need to stay consistent and avoid the drop.

Manager Enzo Maresca is likely to demand winter signings and it is reported that two positions could be prioritised.

A new striker is the main priority for the Italian tactician with the inconsistency of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.

Meanwhile, the club are also looking into a new centre-back with the injury concerns for Wesley Fofana this campaign.

The Frenchman has struggled to stay fit over extended periods and the Blues are prepared to pursue a marquee player.

Benfica’s Tomas Araujo was considered in the back end of the last transfer window and the Blues could return for him.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Milan Skriniar could be another possible target.
