💬Enzo Maresca has not been entirely convinced by Tosin Adarabioyo or Axel Disasi. (@liam_twomey)

Excl: Bournemouth have agreed terms with Chelsea for 19 year old winger Zain Silcott-Duberry. Deal includes sell on clause and future incentives for first team appearances, contract until June 2028. (Fabrizio Romamo)

🔵EXCLUSIVE: Brighton are keen on trying to tempt Tosin on a permanent deal. (@MikeKeegan_DM) 🤔Breaking: Despite Chelsea bringing back Chalobah, I’m told Chelsea are still looking at centre backs in January. (@FabrizioRomano)

Wesley Fofana is not expected to return until March or April. (@Matt_Law_DT)😵😵 Sources insist Chelsea have not made a decision to bid for Marc Guehi and that any move for him this month is currently rated as unlikely. (@Matt_Law_DT)

👀Yasin Özcan

🤔Ronald Araujo has agreed in principle on new contract at Barcelona. (Fabrizio Romano)

The expectation remains that Chalobah will leave Chelsea permanently at the end of the season, but he and the club realise that they can help each other in the meantime. (@Matt_Law_DT)

Paul Winstanley called Chalobah to speak about returning - not Egbhali. (@NizaarKinsella and @BobbyVincentFL)

Chelsea have activated clause to recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace with immediate effect. Decision made by Enzo Maresca and the club’s management after many injuries with some defenders also set to leave. (Fabrizio Romano) So, this Chalobah’s news simply means there is zero chance of Marc Guehi’s deal happening this January. No chance.

Nkunku and Veiga are in the squad for tonight… (@kierangill_DM)

Veiga continues exactly where he left off in Basel.😐😐

💬As of this afternoon, Mathys Tel's position remains unchanged. He wants to stay at Bayern despite the very concrete interest of Chelsea and also other clubs. However, there could be a rethink before the end of the window if Tel doesn't get any chances/game time in the next few games and get the feeling he's not in the coach's plans.💭 [via@kerry_hau]

Antonio Silva👀👀

Chelsea have a young, so far unnamed, centre-back lined up for the summer, whose move they could look to try to accelerate now. [@Matt_Law_DT]

Chelsea were comfortably compliant with the Premier League’s PSR rules. [@JacobsBen] Remember all those “experts” who said we were DEFINITELY in PSR trouble for 23-24? 🤣💪✅️✅️

Chelsea are now prepared to loan Chukwuemeka to Dortmund, albeit under the proviso that strict playing and economic conditions are agreed to. They also only want it to be a straight loan, with no option or obligation to buy included. (via@TheAthleticFC)

Chelsea have been linked with Deportivo La Coruna winger Yeremay Hernandez, however it is their French sister club Strasbourg who want to buy him.💪 🙂‍↕️Chelsea are looking to loan out or sell Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Ben Chilwell, but nothing has progressed with either yet. (@SJohnsonSport)

💬Simon Phillips reports today that Chelsea are trying to sign this January (Guehi is Maresca's wish), Mainoo, (Tel - J.Shields wants him badly) (Delap again J.Shields wants him badly) and a new left-back.💶

According to @lequipe; Mathys Tel wants to STAY at Bayern Munich. As of yesterday, the player has not changed his position. He remains committed to Bayern and his decision is to stay despite all the enquiries. Freund on Mathys Tel: "Mathys Tel is a very important player for us, we are in very good contact because he's a great talent and should play an important role for us. We have had many discussions. Our clear goal is for Mathys to make his breakthrough with us. We are very happy with our squad, quality and quantity wise. Of course if a player is unhappy, we can talk about it. Our clear plan with Mathys is for him to make his breakthrough here"

Badiashile & Ugo😅

Chelsea’s sporting director Laurence Stewart wants Tel, he’s a long term target for him. (@lequipe)

EXCL | FC Bayern want to sign Christopher Nkunku immediately! ⚠️ Bayern have already reached a full verbal agreement with Nkunku on a top long-term contract. All terms are agreed. Nkunku wants to join Bayern right away. Regardless of Mathys Tel, Nkunku is Bayern’s top transfer target until Deadline Day on February 3rd. Max Eberl wants to sign him permanently, not just on loan. Including Tel in the deal with CFC is just an idea to make the transfer easier. Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing. via@SkySportDE

My understanding is that for the right structure, Dorgu could be gettable for a package of €30m-€37m. (@JacobsBen) Axel Disasi would be open to a move back to Monaco but they would likely only offer half of what Chelsea paid. (@JacobsBen)

+ Hato or Dorgu✅️✍️
