Chelsea fans have portioned plenty of blame of late at the centre-backs at the club, although the club are very high on two players in that position.<\/p>\n

Blues supporters are frequently told about the potential some of their young players, however when given the chance in the first team they flatter to deceive.<\/p>\n

Mamadou Sarr<\/a> made his first Chelsea Champions League start against PSG, however made a significant error<\/a> to put an end to their unlikely chances at a comeback.<\/p>\n

Where does Fikayo Tomori rank among Chelsea\u2019s current centre-backs?\ud83e\udd14 <\/p>\n

The Blues have been without Levi Colwill<\/a> all season, and this has clearly been a massive issue due to how highly he is rated at the club.<\/p>\n

Journalist Simon Johnson<\/a> has claimed on Reddit that while the Blues are really keen on Colwill, they are also massive fans of Aaron Anselmino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cA centre-back is on their wishlist for the summer. But don\u2019t forget Colwill will return and he is very highly valued within the club. I think we will see a few sales at cb too. The club like Anselmino a lot too but unfortunately injuries are holding his progress back.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to potential sales at centre-back, it is likely that Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Tosin Adarabioyo will be at the front of the queue as far as the club are concerned.<\/p>\n

Chelsea to offer Enzo Fernandez over \u00a3400k-per-week, eclipsing Reece James\u2019 new deal \ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n

Is this a step too far?<\/p>\n

Anselmino was well liked at Borussia Dortmund before Chelsea ended his loan move in Germany in January in favour of continuing his development at Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Chelsea did not like Dortmund making plans to sign Anselmino permanently<\/a>, and they were looking for a replacement for Mamadou Sarr as he made his move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Since his move to France, the Argentine has hardly featured in Ligue 1, with Strasbourg having big ambitions domestically and in the Conference League.<\/p>\n

Despite being part of the Chelsea squad on a couple of occasions now, it looks as if there is still going to be a bit of a wait until Chelsea fans can see the promising talent they have been told good things about.<\/p>\n
