Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Dusan Vlahovic, Morgan Rodgers and Aaron Anselmino that you may have missed…
Defender Aaron Anselmino has said a tearful goodbye to his Borussia Dortmund teammates after Chelsea terminated his loan spell with the Bundesliga club and brought him back to the Premier League
Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill are both currently unavailable due to injuries, leaving just Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiashile as options at centre-half.
The 20-year-old, whose only appearance for his parent club since his move from Boca Juniors two years ago came in last summer’s Club World Cup, joined Dortmund in the summer and had made a positive impact over the course of his 10 appearances.
CHELSEA had hoped to sign a new defender during the January transfer window but it appears they will be unable to sign top target Jeremy Jacquet until the summer, and as a result, Chelsea have opted to recall Anselmino and although they are within their rights to do so, the decision has, according to Bild, caused anger at Dortmund who were banking on the Argentine seeing out the season with them
‘Centre-back Aaron Anselmino is leaving Borussia Dortmund and will return to Chelsea FC with immediate effect,’read a blunt statement on the club’s official website.
‘Thank you, Aaron, for your time at BVB and all the best for your future!’
IcFootballnews Says….
The lad is really enjoying his time in the Bundesliga, he did not want to leave and hopefully he wont go back to Chelsea and sit on the bench or play in the reserves, he needs to play on a regular basis.
CHELSEA do have the money to sign whatever player that they want, so the fact that they have been unable to acquire the players that could add to the side, will come as a massive shock to many of the Blues fans,
But Anselmino will be welcomed back by many of the Chelsea fans
CHELSEA IN VLAHOVIC TALKS
There has been some fresh reports in the media which have claimed that Chelsea are hoping to sign Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer from Juventus at the end of the season.
CHELSEA have spent some serious money in the last couple of transfer windows adding players like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap in a bid to find that striker that has the ability to score 25-30 goals a season.
However – despite the impressive performances at times of Pedro and Delap, Chelsea needs to delve into that transfer kitty once again at the end of the season and try to sign another forward that can lead the Blues front line.

Though Vlahovic has been an important performer for Juventus in recent season, scoring 64 goals in 162 games, the Italian side are keen to offload his club-high £350,000-a-week wages.
Clubs across Europe are on alert regarding Vlahovic’s situation. TEAMtalk are reporting that Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have contacted the player’s representatives.
Vlahovic is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign sides this month and the London duo are battling for his signature. AC Milan are also keen and confident of a deal, despite Vlahovic’s interest in a move to England
IcFootballnews View…
Vlahovic is a quality striker that has all the ability to be a brilliants Premier League forward, so if he is interested in a move to England, then this would be a good option for the likes of CHELSEA
The Blues have a world class attack that is struggling for goals, so if there is a chance to sign Vlahovic at the end of the season on a free, then he could be the answer to the Blues striking issues since the days of Diego Costa.
There is a few more days left in the transfer window, so anything could happen guys that is for sure.
CHELSEA WANTS RODGERS
Things are looking pretty chaotic at Chelsea right now, but that apparently hasn’t harmed their ambition in the transfer market as there has been some stunning claimed that they are keen to try and sign Morgan Rodgers from Aston Villa.
Right now, all the talk at CHELSEA is about whether or not the Blues will be able to push on and compete for that Premier League title after a very impressive opening few weeks for Liam Rosenior.
But that has not stopped the transfer speculation about players that could be coming into the club, as there are still a few areas of the pitch that the Blues board would like to improve over the next few weeks of the transfer window.

What is the latest regarding Morgan Rodgers?
According to Teamtalk, Chelsea have set their sights on potential transfer deals for two of England’s top young talents in the form of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri.
Rogers has long been high up on Chelsea’s watch list, but Chelsea have been unable to get a deal done for the Villa star as they do not want to meet that £80 million asking price on his head.
What has been said about Rodgers going to Chelsea
Former Premier League star Emile Heskey recently opened up and claimed that Morgan Rodgers would be a fantastic signing for CHELSEA, amid talk they are looking to raid Aston Villa for the midfielder.
Heskey said: ‘It would be interesting as it’s another Manchester City player who might make their way to Chelsea, but I think he should spend another year at Villa, at least.
‘He’s going well, the club are on the up, and they could break into that top four this season. That’s a really big challenge and a good one for him, too.
‘I think if he did go to Chelsea, he could be fantastic, but for Chelsea it might be overkill, buying players for the sake of it.”
IcFootballnews Says…
Rodgers is brilliant on the ball and so tough to take it from him, he is a great player for Aston Villa and they will not want to lose a player that is so dangerous against pretty much any defence.
Villa do have some financial issues, but they will not want to start letting their best players go, otherwise it will be a step back from all the hard work from the past few seasons.
And to be honest, Rodgers is very happy at Villa right now and will not want to leave the club.
