You can be forgiven at this final act of an exhausting window to just shrug at the flurry of new names being bandied about. Particularly coming off the sobering defeat to Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday, a loss which uncovered more questions than answers.
Under 24 hours later, three new attacking names were being bandied about: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Anthony Gordon and Rafael Leao. All are reportedly being targeted by the Blues, with the younger pair of Gordon and Leao sparking particular intrigue for different reasons.
If you scanned social media on Monday evening, the mere suggestion that Chelsea had held talks with AC Milan over signing the 23-year-old Leao caused mass excitement. Though it is hard to gauge why, given the current attacking problems.
