Here is the latest Chelsea fc news, gossip and transfer speculation from us that we think you may have missed featuring the likes of Omari Kellyman, Caoimhin Kelleher and Joao Pedro..
CHELSEA youngster Omari Kellyman is reportedly seeking a loan move in January transfer window after failing to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge under Enzo Maresca this season
The teenager cost a whopping £19million during the summer, despite having only made six senior appearances for Aston Villa. But Blues manager Enzo Maresca did not give him a sniff across the first four matches of the season before he was sidelined by a hamstring injury.
Now – According to BBC Sport, Kellyman is weighing up his loan options with a focus on Championship sides, as there has already been a number of clubs showing an interest in getting the talented star signed for the rest of the season
During his injury absence, Kellyman has been ‘working hard’ on his fitness and putting on muscle in the gym and knows that a move away will give him the first team minutes that he needs.

The loan move needs to happen in January, he cannot sit on the bench every week and wait for his chance, there are far too many quality players at the club for Kellyman to even get a sniff at some first team minutes.
So when the transfer window opens up in just a few weeks time, the club should allow him to make that loan move away until the summer and then given him a chance next season if he impresses.
We dont like to see talented players just sitting on the bench watching their careers pass them by
PEDRO PRICE SET
CHELSEA are keen on signing Brighton forward Joao Pedro in the next couple of transfer windows, but they have reportedly been told that it will cost £100 million to secure the services of the attacker.
Pedro was incredible last season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions and has impressed once again this season albeit not being as prolific in front of goal, with four strikes to his name.
We are one of a number of clubs that have been linked with a possible move for the attacker, as there is alot of speculation about the futures of a number of players that have not made the impact that many would have hoped for.
However, TBR Football report that there could be a major spanner in the works for chasing clubs: “TBR Football understands that Brighton would demand close to £100 million for star striker Joao Pedro,” the outlet says.
“What’s more, “they have no plans to let him leave in the near future.”
And with Brighton flying high in the Premier League table and on course for European football next season, the 23 year old also might see it in his best interest to stay at the American Express Stadium for the time being.

Joao Pedro has been impressive for Brighton over the past few seasons and is good enough to join one of the big clubs, but to pay £100 million for the man is mad and we are sure that the board will not pay that amount of money
KELLEHER TOLD TO JOIN
Caoimhin Kelleher has been told ‘it’s time’ to think about leaving Anfield and that joining CHELSEA would be a superb ‘opportunity’ for both parties, as the Blues are in need of adding a quality stopper to that squad.
Liverpool are reluctant to sell Kelleher to a direct rival but would still likely accept an offer in the region of £40million, but the stopper has made no secret of his desire to be the first-choice goalkeeper somewhere after spending the past five and a half seasons as a back-up option behind Alisson Becker.
It is no secret that we are looking at adding a new stopper to the side in the upcoming transfer window, and the likelihood is that Alisson will come straight back in, leaving Kelleher in a position that he has previously complained about and suggested would force his hand in the pursuit of regular first-team football.
As a result, reporter Iomie Stanley believes the club should swoop for Kelleher and also reckons it would be a good outcome for the player: ‘I always look at [Emiliano] Martinez when he made the decision to leave Arsenal all those seasons ago.
‘He was at Arsenal for like ten years and finally made the decision to leave the London giants and is now regarded as one of the very best stoppers in world football, and a man that is one of the best in the Premier League.
‘I think Kelleher is a very good goalkeeper. He’s 25, it’s time now, it could be a very good time to make that move to CHELSEA‘
