Following a quiet January the Blues are once again expected to be busy in the summer, with the squad in desperate need of reinforcements in several key areas.<\/p>\n

The Blues are thought to still be in the market for a centre back, whilst it\u2019s understood they want to add another midfielder and attacker.<\/p>\n

Chelsea to make approach for Strahinja Pavlovic<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chelsea have struggled defensively this season, and have ultimately paid the price for not signing a replacement for Levi Colwill, who suffered an ACL injury before the start of the season.<\/p>\n

The Blues failed in their pursuit of Jeremy Jacquet in January, with the France under-21 international opting to join Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have been linked with Murillo and Jan Paul van Hecke, but according to Calcio Mercato they are set to make an approach for Pavlovic in the coming weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report adds Milan\u2019s priority is to extend Pavlovic\u2019s contract until 2031, with his current deal running until 2028, with the option of a further year.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have previously been linked with Pavlovic, and the 24-year-old has made 34 appearances in all competitions this season, with Milan sat third in Serie A.<\/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
