Chelsea plans to target Ecuadorian defender Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen to strengthen their left-side defense. Under coach Enzo Maresca, the club sees Hincapié as a key future option due to his versatility as a central defender and left-back. Despite previous focus on attacking investments, Chelsea aims to address their defense, anticipating potential exits of players like Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella, and Ben Chilwell. The club may invest in the 22-year-old next summer.
