Having had a quiet January the Blues are set to be busy in the summer, with a number of areas in the squad needing to be addressed.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are said to be in the market for a centre back, whilst it\u2019s believed they want to add another midfielder and attacker.<\/p>\n

Chelsea appreciate Morgan Rogers<\/h2>\n

Chelsea signed four attackers last summer in Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap, but only Pedro has made an impact this season.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has scored 19 goals in all competitions, with 14 of those coming in the Premier League, whilst the others have really struggled.<\/p>\n

More creativity in attack is something the Blues desperately need and Chelsea have been linked with Aston Villa star Rogers. <\/p>\n

Chelsea have also reportedly made an enquiry for Brentford\u2019s Igor Thiago, and Jacobs has provided an update on their search for an attacker.<\/p>\n

He reported for talkSPORT the Blues are looking for a new creative attacker, potentially someone who can operate from the left, with Rogers a name that\u2019s appreciated.<\/p>\n

Rogers has scored 12 goals and registered nine assists in 50 appearances in all competitions for Villa this season.<\/p>\n

Colwill hasn\u2019t played all season due to an ACL injury, whilst James hasn\u2019t played since the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on March 14th.<\/p>\n

With the FA Cup final two weeks away, this is a huge boost for Chelsea, and they\u2019ll be hoping James at least can be ready to start that game.<\/p>\n
