Chelsea<\/a>, unsurprisingly, are being tipped to do even more business when the transfer window reopens in less than four months.<\/p>\n

The latest Chelsea headlines suggests work is going on behind the scenes to ensure the squad is in an even stronger position for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

‘Chelsea eye Man City defender\u2019<\/p>\n

Chelsea have started the season with their defence leaking goals left, right and centre.<\/p>\n

In the Premier League, Chelsea have conceded at least two goals in each of their opening five matches, resulting in defeats to Arsenal and Brentford as well as a draw at home to newly-promoted Hull.<\/p>\n

As such, defence is something the Blues will look to bolster in January – despite signing Marco Palestra, Pep Chavarria and Maxence Lacroix in the summer.<\/p>\n

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea are \u2018keeping a close eye on\u2019 Manchester City\u2019s Abdukodir Khusanov ahead of the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

The report claims despite Khusanov recently signing a new Man City contract, it remains to be seen if he will continue to be a regular starter under new head coach Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n

Chelsea ‘discussing Scott deal’<\/p>\n

Alex Scott<\/a> remains on Chelsea’s radar ahead of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

While that offer was knocked back, it has not deterred the Blues.<\/p>\n

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea have been holding internal discussions over central midfield targets for the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

The report states that Scott and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton are the two main names under consideration at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

However, it is also claimed the Blues are not expected to go back in for Lamine Camara after the difficulties in dealing with Monaco this summer.<\/p>\n

Chelsea target\u2019s next move \u2018revealed\u2019<\/p>\n

Gambian football expert Baboucarr Fallaboweh has said more clubs are likely to join the battle for Adama Jeng, after Chelsea showed interest.<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Chelsea are one of a number of top European sides tracking Jeng after the 15-year-old caught the eye of scouts while representing his nation\u2019s U17 side at a youth tournament in Senegal.<\/p>\n

As per Sport Witness, Fallaboweh believes it is more likely Jeng will join a Scandinavian club to enjoy more game time before moving to a top European league.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThat\u2019s right. Even if England is mentioned, his agent is targeting clubs from Scandinavia. That can give him greater chance for him [of taking the next step].<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can say is that he will not have a problem going to England to have trials with clubs there. Because, I\u2019ve seen Gambian players going to Liverpool, Nottingham Forest etc, to have trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a trial, a door opens. Gradually, now when the [next edition] of U17 AFCON kickoffs in Morocco, there you will see more of him. That\u2019s where clubs can put in concrete offers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea, unsurprisingly, are being tipped to do even more business when the transfer window reopens in less than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":781499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[95547,14556,130282,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-781498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-alex-scott","tag-chelsea-transfer-news","tag-chelsea-transfers","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=781498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/781498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/781499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=781498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=781498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
