Chelsea Transfer Roundup: Three New Links and Two Big Blows

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea have a great chance to stretch a lead at top of the order this weekend when they face Hull City at home in the Premier League.

They are currently 7 points off Liverpool and Tottenham at the top of the points table and are looking genuine title contenders come the end of the campaign.

The manager, however, is seriously looking for options to add to his squad this January and with the transfer window wide open, the transfer rumors are coming in thick and fast every day.

Here are all such transfer rumors coming out of the Bridge today:

Chelsea wants Inter Milan star:

The Blues are desperate for an attacking addition for a while now and Conte has been looking at option to bolster his squad even for the next season.

He has not got his eyes on Inter Milan playmaker Ivan Perisic for a move at the end of the season. The 27-year old Croatian international is also wanted by the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United and is expected to cost around €35m with all three clubs ready to fight for him. (Calciomercato)

Leverkusen star eyed:

Chelsea and Antonio Conte have been in the search of midfielders who can add quality to the squad and they have been looking at a number of names recently.

They are now plotting to make a £15m bid for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu this January and are favorites to land him. But the 22-year old is also wanted by the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Everton but Chelsea had representatives to watch him in action recently and are ready to make take the first step soon.

Stefan de Vrij boost:

The Blues will lack a bit of depth in defense at the end of the season with a couple of players set to leave the club and this has seen Conte actively scout for a central defender to add to the squad.

They have been monitoring the status of Lazio’s Stefan de Vrij for some time now and they were given a boost today after the player rejected a contract extension from the club earlier this week. He has just an year left on his contract and might be available on the cheap and Chelsea are front runners for his signature. (Calciomercato)

Chelsea close to landing full-back:

Antonio Conte’s side are a bit weak in the wing-back positions and are looking into the transfer market for potential additions to the squad.

They have been linked with a number of names recently and Benfica star Nelson Semedo is the latest name on the list. The full-back is out of favor in Portugal and the president of the Portuguese outfit is in London at the moment to finalize a deal that might cost Chelsea around the €40m mark this January.

Courtois to force Madrid move:

The Belgian shot-stopper is currently the first choice at the club and has been superb this season for the Blues.

However, he is unsettled at the club and is not ready to extend his contract at the end of the season. He has less than 2 years left on his contract at the club and is now trying to engineer a move away from the Bridge. He has not asked his agent to push forward a move to Real Madrid who are plotting to make a bid for him in the summer. ( Don Balon)
