The Blues were forced to change formation in yesterday\u2019s game to compensate for the lack of options.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the likes of Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto will return \u2013 but is anyone really convinced that they\u2019re actually good enough, long term?<\/p>\n<p>Geovany Quenda will arrive in the summer, but he still looks very raw. The Blues want proven quality, and they\u2019re now being liked to a player who is doing well in Serie A.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea linked with London-born rising star<\/h2>\n<p>Jonathan Rowe has been doing well at Bologna, and while the Premier League is a big step up for him, Chelsea are apparently interested. SportWitness claim that we\u2019ve already scouted the Norwich academy graduate.<\/p>\n<p>A price of \u00a338m is mentioned, and that would seem decent value for a 23 year old who is showing plenty of potential.<\/p>\n<p>Given the number of wingers we already have on our books, it\u2019s hard to imagine us buying Rowe without selling someone first. And it\u2019s hard to imagine anyone buying him given his form.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Andrey Santos started in place of Romeo Lavia yesterday and largely did well \u2013 but one pundit pointed to a big mistake he had made.<\/p>\n<p>Calum McFarlane thinks the Blues could have won the game, and he probably has a point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
