Thomas Tuchel's hopes of strengthening his Chelsea attack suffered another setback on Sunday evening as it was reported Ousmane Dembele had decided to join Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea currently sit 10 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race and the January transfer window looked to be a decisive moment in the campaign.
Yet with deadline day upon us, the Blue appear to be no closer to strengthening and, with the past links between Tuchel and Dembele, this is a setback that will disappoint many at Stamford Bridge.
