Chelsea are set to miss out on midfield target Franck Kessie this month following reports that the midfielder will remain part of Barcelona's squad until the summer.
The Blues have been the busiest club in the Premier League this month with Todd Boehly spending close to £200million on six new recruits. The U.S billionaire's overhaul of the playing squad at Stamford Bridge has a mixture of a view on the current campaign and long-term success at the club, but the priority has said to be a new midfielder.
Enzo Fernandez had been identified as Boehly's number one target since the start of the January window but a move failed to materialise because of a stall in negotiations. Brighton duo Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister have also been linked, with the former being the subject of a £55m bid.
