Chelsea continue to be linked with a number of players as the January transfer window edges closer to a conclusion.
The Blues are blessed with a stacked squad, although the rigours of the season have opened up some gaps within it.
Manager Thomas Tuchel has recently complained about how tired the team is and some fresh legs would potentially help with the grind to come in the second half of the campaign.
Mirror Sport has your latest Chelsea transfer buzz, with players said to be on the club's radar that could bolster both ends of the pitch.
Should Chelsea be looking to take a chance on a player like Dembele? Let us know in the comments section below!
Sosa a summer target
According to Sky Sports Germany (h/t Sport Witness), Chelsea are eyeing up a move for Stuttgart full-back Borna Sosa.
In the report it's said the Blues are looking at doing a deal that would bring the player to Stamford Bridge in the summer, with the 24-year-old said to be valued in the region of €30 million (£25 million).
Chelsea are reported to be at the head of the race for the defender, with Inter Milan and Aston Villa also mentioned as potential suitors.
Villa are noted to have held serious negotiations with the player in the past but the "deal fell through" eventually.
Emerson issues
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are facing further issues in their attempts to bring Emerson back to the club.
It's said Lyon have turned down a €4 million (£3.35 million) offer from the Blues to cut short the loan of the Italian, with Tuchel said to be keen to strengthen his options on the left flank following the injury to Ben Chilwell.
Romano noted that a recall "looks difficult, as of now" and has also claimed neither Layvin Kurzawa nor Ivan Perisic are options for the European champions at this stage.
Emerson has established himself as a regular player at Lyon, starting 16 games in Ligue 1 under Peter Bosz.
Dembele in trouble at Barcelona
According to RMC Sport (h/t Get French Football News), Barcelona are set to sanction Ousmane Dembele after he didn't show up for training on Sunday.
The reported Chelsea target is set to leave the Camp Nou this summer after he failed to agree terms over a new contract. Barcelona director Mateu Alemany confirmed Dembele will be moving on "immediately."
While Barcelona said Dembele was absent for the match with Deportivo Alaves due to a stomach issue, they are said to be sceptical of the player's claim of illness.
Any fine would only add to the acrimony building between the player and club. Chelsea are among a number of clubs that have been credited with an interested in the fantastic but fragile Frenchman.
