Following the news that Wesley Fofana faces a spell on the sidelines, Chelsea could be forced into the market to replace the French centre-back. One defender who is definitely available is former the Manchester United captain Harry Maguire, who might be more suited to life in west London where they are likely to play with a back three this season. He might be even keener to head south because he is currently at risk of dropping below Jonny Evans in the pecking order.
As with anyone contracted to Chelsea, there is a chance they will be sold this window. Conor Gallagher is ripe for a good selling and West Ham are showing an interest in the midfielder who is not guaranteed to start under Mauricio Pochettino. David Moyes will need to source more than £40m if he wants to prise Gallagher away from Stamford Bridge, although it might be money well spent.
