Frenkie de Jong and Pulisic swap, £71.2m Federico Chiesa offer - Latest Chelsea transfer rumours

The transfer window is fast approaching.

Chelsea are typically big spenders, and they may need to further strengthen their squad in January if something worthwhile presents itself in the market.

Worldwide stars including players like Eden Hazard and Declan Rice continue to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, but whether the Blues choose to act on any interest remains to be seen.

Equally, there may be opportunity for some players to leave in the near future.

The likes of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are out of contract at the end of the season, whilst some others have been linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge.

Additionally, N'Golo Kante's and Ben Chilwell's injuries against Juventus in the 4-0 win on Tuesday night in the Champions League may mean that the Blues ponder the market for back-up options as they continue their charge for more silverware.

With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the latest rumours out there.
