For Chelsea fans, the feeling is a relief. With less than 48 hours until the transfer window closes, the club have turned attention toward the glaring midfield weakness, raising as many questions as it answers.
Firstly, the Blues were reported to have made a £43m offer for Ajax defensive midfielder Edson Alvarez in an attempt to make the most of the one-day early Dutch league window cut-off. Shortly after, more rumours linked Chelsea with interest in PSV's own midfielder Ibrahim Sangare.
It comes after Ruben Loftus-Cheek's injury against Southampton left Thomas Tuchel with Jorginho as his only fit senior option in that position. Billy Gilmour and Carney Chukwuemeka both made the bench but weren't called upon.
