Chelsea are currently looking at a number of central midfielders ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. The market officially opens in just over two weeks' time and it is looking as if it could be a busy period behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge.
football.london understands talks have been on a consistent basis regarding midfield targets ever since the summer transfer window closed. There is a general consensus Chelsea will go all in for Declan Rice at the end of the season with West Ham United expected to be more open to selling the 23-year-old.
Edson Alvarez of Ajax also remains a target for Chelsea, who failed with a £43million offer for the Mexican over the summer transfer window. With N'Golo Kante and Jorginho seeing their contracts expire at the end of the season, the midfield duo both look more likely to leave than stay at the time of writing, with no breakthrough in contract negotiations with either.
