Chelsea's game of poker with Leicester City might be about to end as the Blues reportedly find a shock alternative to Wesley Fofana in the late stages of the window.
Todd Boehly has made progress with his attempts to bring Fofana to Chelsea with the player likely to miss the Foxes' game against Southampton, but that could be due to Brendan Rodgers withdrawing him or the player's own decision.
Either way it poses a picture that not all is happy between the two parties and Chelsea are still waiting, just trying to find a way to make the fee as low as possible, ideally making it fall below the current world record fee for a defender of £80m.
