CHELSEA are convinced they can land England centre-half Marc Guehi in the summer despite their failed January approach.
Crystal Palace’s Guehi is top of the Blues’ wishlist but they also need a winger and a striker.

Chelsea’s winter bid for the 24-year-old was understood to be “ridiculously low”.
Palace value Guehi at £70million but, with just one full year left on his contract, they are unlikely to get that amount.
Tottenham also showed an interest in January after Newcastle had four bids rejected before the start of the season – with the Toon’s biggest worth £65m.
If Guehi was to sign for Chelsea in the summer, it would see him return to the club four years after he left.
He came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge after joining them at the age of seven.
Guehi made just two senior appearances for Chelsea despite being part of a star-studded Under-18s side with Reece James, Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi that won the quadruple in 2018.
The 22-time capped England international was sold to Palace for £18m in 2021 after two seasons out on loan at Swansea.
Meanwhile, striker Liam Delap is on Chelsea’s radar.
