Stefan Borson drops verdict on '£125m' Chelsea January spending spree

Stefan Borson predicts Chelsea will struggle to spend the £125m from Fernandez's sale in January, expecting a quiet market despite targets like Alex Scott.

Former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson has told Football Insider that Chelsea may find it difficult to spend the £125m raised from Enzo Fernandez's sale to Manchester City when the January transfer window opens. Borson expects the January market to be "relatively quiet" across the Premier League, with few high-profile players becoming available.

Chelsea, currently fifth in the Premier League under Xabi Alonso, have been linked with several targets including Bournemouth's Alex Scott, though Borson suggests Scott may no longer be available. The club is also considering alternatives such as Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara and Como's Jacobo Ramon as defensive reinforcements following injuries to key players including Reece James and Maxence Lacroix.
