Andrey Santos is close to sealing a £17.5million transfer to Chelsea from Vasco da Gama ahead of the January transfer window. The Brazilian wonderkid is set to join David Datro Fofana as the Blues' first two signings in January.
Todd Boehly spent close to £300million in the summer transfer window on eight new signings after completing a £4billion takeover at Stamford Bridge. The Blues look set to be one of the busiest Premier League clubs in January as Graham Potter looks to add players that fit his play style and tactics after inheriting Thomas Tuchel's squad in September.
Reports have suggested that the Blues are keen on signing a new left-sided centre-back despite completing deals for Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana in the summer. Benoit Badiashile, Evan Ndicka and Piero Hincapie have all been tipped to be on Chelsea's radar, but there is one deal that looks set to be completed before talks begin for a defender.
