One Chelsea source is claiming that the club are not looking to make what I see as a smart move in the January window.
There has been reports that have come out this morning suggesting that Chelsea could look to bring in their new signing, Emanuel Emegha, sooner than the summer.

The striker is arriving from Strasbourg and has already officially signed with Chelsea so I guess really, he is on loan at Strasbourg. But we all thought that he wont be coming to Chelsea until the summer, at the end of this season, and would play out the season with the French club for now.
However, Liam Delap got another injury and looks set to be out for around 6-8 weeks now according to reports. So if it’s the worst end of this then it could be two months our for him.
Chelsea for me, would need to bring another striker in January and to be honest, they might even need to do that anyway because they are truly lacking in attack.
Emegha to arrive in Jan?
Emmanuel Emegha joins Chelsea!

A report earlier stated that Chelsea are now considering moving up this summer’s confirmed deal to sign Emanuel Emegha to January to help out due to Delap’s injury.
However, The Daily Mail are claiming that this will NOT happen and the plan remains to bring him in at the end of the season.
They apparently believe they have enough options up top despite Delap being out injured again.
Absolutely ridiculous
We do NOT have enough. Marc Guiu is still far too raw, Joao Pedro is not in good form and is also not a 9, and Pedro Neto playing false 9 is NOT the answer regularly.
Please, you have the chance to bring in a good striker who you already own, is it just far too smart for Chelsea to do? I guess so.
