In a decisive move to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Chelsea have officially entered the market for a new left winger, with growing internal concerns over Mykhailo Mudryk’s recovery from his ongoing fitness issues. The Ukrainian winger, once a marquee signing for the Blues, has faced a series of setbacks, and the club is now uncertain about when – or if – he will return to full form and fitness.
In response, Chelsea’s hierarchy, led by the recruitment department and new manager Enzo Maresca, has identified three key targets to potentially replace or compete with Mudryk on the left flank:
🔹 Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) – The electric Spanish international has been one of La Liga’s most exciting wingers, praised for his blistering pace, sharp dribbling, and increasing maturity in front of goal. He’s also attracting interest from top clubs across Europe, making Chelsea’s pursuit a high-stakes race.
🔹 Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Borussia Dortmund) – The young Englishman has quietly emerged as one of the Bundesliga’s most technically gifted wide players. Still just 20, Gittens fits the Chelsea model of recruiting elite young talent with high resale value and long-term potential.
🔹 Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) – The Argentine sensation would be the most explosive signing of the three. Though it would be a blockbuster and controversial move due to the fierce rivalry between United and Chelsea, sources claim Garnacho is admired by Maresca for his fearless style, direct play, and match-winning ability.
Chelsea’s intentions are clear: they want to future-proof their flanks, inject fresh pace and creativity, and ensure they’re not overly reliant on Mudryk, whose injury record is raising alarms. Talks have already begun behind the scenes, and personal terms are being explored with the players’ representatives.
With Chelsea already completing the Liam Delap deal, their ambition in the transfer market is becoming increasingly aggressive — and fans can expect more high-profile moves in the coming weeks.
The question now is: Which star will light up Stamford Brid
