Chelsea Dream XI: West Ham Star, £67m Defender and Striker Feature in Potential Line-Up If Transfer Rumours Materialise

As Chelsea continue their Club World Cup campaign, the transfer activity behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge shows no signs of slowing down.

Under new manager Enzo Maresca, the club is being linked with a host of high-profile signings, especially in attack, as they aim to build on a promising first season that concluded with Europa Conference League success.

Reports suggest that Maresca is now prioritising offensive reinforcements after the club’s pursuit of AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan fell through. According to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, Chelsea have ended their search for a new goalkeeper, indicating confidence in the current options or a shift in transfer strategy.

With strong backing from the board, Maresca is expected to reshape the squad to push further up the Premier League table in the 2025/26 season. Should current transfer rumours prove accurate, Chelsea’s dream starting XI could feature some major additions.

Predicted Starting XI if Rumours Come True:

• Goalkeeper: Filip Jorgensen
• Defenders: Marc Cucurella, Levi Colwill, Ousmane Diomande, Moises Caicedo
• Midfielders & Attackers: To be confirmed based on ongoing negotiations, including a potential marquee striker and a West Ham star reportedly close to joining.

The transfer window remains open, and while nothing is confirmed, Chelsea’s ambition under Maresca is clear. With key signings, the Blues could soon field a formidable XI ready to challenge on all fronts.
