🟢It is more likely that any attacking reinforcements for Chelsea will come in the summer transfer window. (@EveningStandard)

EXCL: Antoine Semenyo preference is to join Man City in January. Nothing formal until market opens but AFCB attacker favours MCFC. Man Utd pushed hard + never planned to use 25yo at wing-back but winter switch was always tough for MUFC. (@David Ornstein)

💣BRIEFING ALARM BRIEFING ALARM💣

🚴‍♀️Semenyo was leaning slightly towards joining Manchester City before Chelsea entered on Monday evening. (@ChrisWheelerDM @NathSalt1 @Jack_Gaughan)

🗯Chelsea hope Semenyo, who is from London, will appreciate their long-term project and see an opportunity to make an immediate impact at a top club. The view at Chelsea is that the 25-year-old would give their squad a different dimension. Semenyo would offer an added aerial threat and enviable pace and power. Chelsea like Semenyo’s versatility and the fact he has proved himself in the Premier League. Semenyo can play on both flanks and as a striker. Chelsea wants to revamp its midfield in the summer 2026.

✅️🔵Chelsea are working on a number of departures during the January transfer window, with players leaving the club on loan or permanently. -G. Slonina still has hopes of playing in the World Cup. -F. Jorgensen is pushing for a transfer, but Chelsea do not want to let him go in January. -A. Disasi -Facundo Buonanotte Chelsea wants to loan K. Mainoo with an option to buy or a mandatory return to Brighton for Facundo. (via@SimonPhillips) -Tyrique George wants to play more and leave the club. -Mykhaylo Mudryk's suspension will be lifted soon. -Raheem Sterling Chelsea is eager to get rid of him so they don't have to pay his salary. -Jimi Tauriainen will leave the club in January; there are many interested parties. -Deivid Washington -Sam Rak-Saky's contract is expiring and he has not yet wanted to sign a new contract. -Kiano Dyer is being recalled; his future is uncertain; he has hardly played for FC Volendam. -Leo Castledine has many interested parties in the Championship. Chelsea would let him go for a good transfer fee. (@SkySports)

⚪️Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Dortmund and Stuttgart are very interested in the Marseille's 18-year-old midfielder Daryl Bakola. (@sebnonda)

Exactly, I think Neto will be gone by summer 2026 at the latest. Simon Phillips also reported today that we definitely want to sign K. Yildiz if an opportunity arises in January, otherwise in summer 2026. That's why Chelsea needs space. Mudryk on loan, Neto, George Sterling, and Gittens on loan could all leave!

😆💪Still supremely funny that with all these top teams chasing Antoine Semenyo, his first priority was to tell Spurs they had no chance.

Al Nassr & Al Hilal want Pedro Neto. Al Hilal have contacted Neto’s agent — but no yes from the player yet Chelsea would entertain a sale & don’t see him as untouchable with Quenda coming in Chelsea would demand in excess of €80m. (FrazFletcher)

Chelsea came to the table in an audacious swoop on Monday evening after 25-year-old Antoine Semenyo had spent a day off weighing up his options. The Ghana international was born in west London and has an affiliation with Chelsea. (@kierangill_DM / @Jack_Gaughan) 🗯@SkyKaveh: “Chelsea have now made an enquiry to sign Semenyo. They have asked for information about the conditions of a possible deal. The release clause we are led to believe is around £60million and is valid till the middle of January.”

🔵AS Roma opens loan negotiations with Chelsea for Axel Disasi. [@FabriceHawkins] 🔴Chelsea have made an initial enquiry to the representatives of Antoine Semenyo, despite always playing down an approach. Manchester Clubs are still viewed as front runners. (@JacobsBen) 🟡Chelsea have made an inquiry about signing Antoine Semenyo in January. (@SkySports) 🟣In January 2019 Chelsea have bid £1 million for 19-year old forward Antoine Semenyo but Bristol City are holding out for £2 million (Mail)

🔴No major arrivals are expected at Chelsea in January with the focus firmly on the summer windows in 2026 and 2027. Next month will be about moving on those fringe players that the club could not shift in the previous window. (@SkySports) 🔵Man City, Man Utd, Bayern Munich, Chelsea + others are interested in Elliot Anderson. (@David_Ornstein) 🚑Geovany Quenda has successfully undergone foot surgery here in London. 🫥He’ll be back on the pitch in March.

🔵Chelsea are set to rival Manchester City and Real Madrid for Leicester City sensation Jeremy Monga.🔥 LCFC will do all they can to keep him... (@FrazFletcher)

🔵Chelsea are seriously working on a deal to sign Vitor Roque from Palmeiras. Finally, in London, Chelsea is working hard to sign Vitor Roque, Palmeiras' new star player. The 20-year-old Brazilian striker is taking Brazil by storm with 15 goals in his last 20 games, becoming the third highest scorer in the Brasileirão. (@sachatavolieri) FC Chelsea could knock on Lille’s door in January with a €45–50 million bid for 18-year old ‘generational talent’ Ayyoub Bouaddi. They want to sign him outright, then loan him to sister club Strasbourg to continue his development. Chelsea has already signed a contract with 16-year-old super talent Deinner Ordonez, while U-17 World Cup star Mohamed Zongo (16) will move to Racing Strasbourg to play for the Blues in the future. Manchester United Is very interested, Arsenal have already made first contact with Bouaddi’s camp, while Liverpool see Bouaddi as a “player for the next 10 years.” (@MarkBrus)

Palmer on the left is certainly a choice.😪😪

This is 3 away Premier League games in a row where Chelsea have simply not turned up. People can make excuses and avoid responsibility, but ultimately the manager is the one setting the team up.

Imagine if Maresca did his job rather than play politician all week ah well Man City, Juventus, Harlem Globetrotters are welcome to him!!!

🤬It's not going to happen today, I don't like Chelsea's body language at all. It could get really ugly today!!!

💣💣😤😡

🔴These briefs against Maresca tonight are WILD!!!

Manchester City and Bayern Munich have registered an interest in Josh Acheampong, Despite Chelsea not planning or wishing to sanction an exit. (@JacobsBen) Levante are assessing a potential loan move for Dario Essugo. (@JacobsBen)

🔵Chelsea has its sights set on 20-year-old center back Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes. Chelsea is competing with Real Madrid, PSG, Atlético Madrid, Arsenal and Manchester United to sign Jérémy Jacquet. (@Le Parisien)

🔴Roma chief Ricky Massara has made an approach to Chelsea in the last 48 hours for Axel Disasi. (@Tuttojuve)

💣There is a lot of tension behind the scenes at Chelsea. Jorge Mendes, Enzo Maresca’s agent has a good relationship with the sporting director at Man City. (@SkySports)
