Chelsea have been told that there's nothing to their interest in Celtic full-back Josip Juranovic after he emerged as a potential back-up for Reece James. After coming off injured against Bournemouth James will now miss up to a month out with another knock.
He had already spent eight weeks recovering from a previous knee injury having been out for large spells of last season too. Due to his importance in balancing Graham Potter's side at both ends Chelsea are desperately looking for options to supplement him in the squad.
With January approaching there is a chance to make this happen, but any thoughts that Celtic were willing to let their World Cup star Juranovic leave easily have been quickly downplayed. The Croatian has only just returned from Qatar after helping his side to a third-place finish but is now well and truly in the midst of the transfer rumour mill.
