Chelsea are seriously stepping up their attempts to sign Arsenal's priority transfer target this window as Todd Boehly looks to continue his aggressive spending spree at Stamford Bridge. Having already signed four player this window it appears that the spending is far from over, according to the latest reports.
As well as the highlight of the window in Joao Felix on a six-month loan, Chelsea have also invested in their long-term project with the signings of Benoit Badiashile from Monaco, Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama and David Datro Fofana from Molde. There are still pressing issues in midfield and rightback though, as on-field form continues to drop.
Graham Potter has struggled to get the best of his squad since Reece James' injury but the new recruitment team are still focusing on new attackers with talks ongoing for Noni Madueke. Marcus Thuram is also being discussed as an option with his contract expiring in six months.
