Joe Cole makes Chelsea January transfer window prediction as club director drops spending spree hint

Joe Cole has predicted Chelsea to be busy in the upcoming transfer window after club director David Barnard dropped an intriguing hint on the next couple of months. Graham Potter is set to make a number of signings in January as he looks to implement his philosophy at Stamford Bridge.

RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku, AC Milan forward Rafael Leao and Brighton talisman Leandro Trossard are among the several players who the Blues have recently been heavily linked with. The west Londoners were the biggest spenders in the Premier League in the summer, spending in the region of £270million on Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

With Chelsea yet to show signs that the eye-watering investment has translated into performances on the pitch, Todd Boehly has been tipped to spend even more to steady the ship. Speaking to the Express, as quoted by the Metro, Cole claimed that the World Cup is the perfect chance to make signings.
