The January transfer window has not provided too many shocks at Chelsea so far, however the Blues could be in for a busy final days before Monday’s deadline.
They have already parted ways with Raheem Sterling at last, after more than 18 months where he has not featured at Stamford Bridge.
Sterling is now in talks with seven clubs over a possible move now he is a free agent, with his future set to be determined soon.
In an era where we spend £1bn on technical players, is the long throw too ‘cheap’ for a club like Chelsea?🤔

In terms of active players in the Chelsea squad, there have been very few reported to be close to a move away. Tyrique George is being linked with an exit though after minutes have not come his way this season.
Tyrique George linked with late January move to Everton
Even the introduction of Liam Rosenior as first team manager has not offered the Cobham graduate more opportunities. He is yet to feature under the Englishman at all.
George was linked with a move to Napoli after Chelsea’s Champions League win in Italy, although now there is Premier League interest in the winger too.
According to The Athletic, Everton have registered interest in signing George on loan before the winter window closes.
The Toffees have just lost loanee Jack Grealish for a long period of time, and signing a new option to play in that role would make sense.

George was tipped to shine under Rosenior
After it was clear that the youngster was not playing a prevelant role in the Chelsea side under Enzo Maresca, he will have been excited by the change of managers at the club.

George was tipped to shine under Rosenior due to the fact that the former Strasbourg boss has a track record of working with young players.
That relationship looks set to end now before it has even begun, although it doesn’t look as if Chelsea are going to be signing a replacement for him this month.
It looks as if Rosenior is being instructed to finish the season at least with Estevao Willian, Alejandro Garnacho, Pedro Neto and Jamie Gittens as the main options out wide.
