John Obi Mikel has strongly criticised Chelsea for their failure to sign a midfield replacement after selling Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City. The former midfielder believes this £125 million transfer mistake is directly responsible for Xabi Alonso's defensive issues this season, pointing out that the team desperately misses the injured Moises Caicedo to protect the defence.
It was only this summer that Justin Lerma moved from his native Ecuador to Dortmund. There, the situation for the 18-year-old is already quite complicated.
Borussia Dortmund would like to continue working with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel for longer. A top club could, however, throw a spanner in the works of that plan.
