Chelsea could have a very busy end to the transfer window, with arrivals and exits still possible.
In terms of incomings, Chelsea could sign Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes. The Blues want a new central defender and the 20-year-old appears to be at the top of their shortlist.
Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi and Como’s Jacobo Ramon have also been mentioned.

As for outgoings, Chelsea will still be hopeful of offloading Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi, though time is running out for them to leave the club.

Chelsea could sell Tosin Adarabioyo during January transfer window
Unlike Sterling and Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo is currently part of the Chelsea first team. Yet there is a possibility that he is sold this month.
Journalist Simon Phillips has claimed on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that the Blues are willing to sell Adarabioyo if they receive an offer for him.
The signing of Adarabioyo was made when Enzo Maresca was still at the club, with the central defender joining from Fulham in the summer of 2024.
While Chelsea’s sporting directors are responsible for overseeing recruitment, it is likely that Maresca would have at least had a say on the Adarabioyo signing as head coach.
Maresca barely used Adarabioyo this season, though, handing him just five starts in the Premier League.

Tosin Adarabioyo was solid against Brentford
Adarabioyo has been far from convincing in the current campaign, but Liam Rosenior would have liked what he saw from the 28-year-old over the weekend.
He could have scored an own goal, but other than that very awkward moment, Adarabioyo did well against Brentford.
The former Fulham man dealt with the danger during the west London derby before being forced off with an injury.

Given his age, experience and leadership qualities, Adarabioyo is certainly a good player to have in the squad, especially considering how young Chelsea’s group is.
However, he has not done enough to be a starter this season, and if an offer does come in for him this month, a departure would not be a shock.
