Even so, it looks like Chelsea<\/a> could still add to their attack in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n The position that Chelsea MUST strengthen in 2026 is _ _ _ _ _ _ <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight.

If he doesn\u2019t know, Chelsea will be bang in there. They\u2019ll be right in there at the front of the queue because they love him.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know where he\u2019s going to play. They\u2019ll figure that out once he\u2019s through the door.

For as good as Rogers is, Yildiz probably has a higher ceiling and is already outperforming him this season.<\/p>\n For example, in fewer minutes, the Turkey international has scored more goals and provided more assists than the England star.<\/p>\n PlayerLeague appsMinutesGoalsAssistsShots per gameKey passes per gameDribbles per gameKenan Yildiz121000432.42.31.5Morgan Rogers131158321.40.81.2Via Kenan Yildiz\u2019s WhoScored<\/a> and Morgan Rogers\u2019 WhoScored<\/a> pages<\/p>\n A lot will need to happen before Chelsea can actually sign Yildiz.
