Free spending Chelsea continue to be linked with some of Europe’s most sought after talent ahead of January.
Chelsea continue to go from strength to strength under Enzo Maresca this season with talk of a title charge gathering pace with every win.
A 2-1 triumph over Brentford on Sunday night made it five Premier League victories in a row for the Blues as the former Leicester City man earns plaudits for his work at Stamford Bridge so far. Maresca was backed with money as he arrived this summer, splurging on Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Filip Jorgensen.
With a potential Premier League title in sight, Chelsea could look to bring in further recruits as the January transfer window nears. LondonWorld looks at how the Chelsea starting XI could look after January if current transfer rumours are true, with market values as per Transfermarkt.

Linked with a move to Chelsea all summer as he sought an exit from Brentford but that didn't happen with the striker instead signing for Al Ahli for £40 million.
