Your morning Chelsea transfer round-up on Thursday, January 19.
Blues eye Brentford star
Chelsea appear eager to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy this month as Graham Potter looks to further bolster his side. According to the Telegraph, the Blues and Manchester United have both registered interest in Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
The report states that the two clubs are ready to rival Tottenham for the Spaniard's signature. He's featured 19 times for Thomas Frank's side in the Premier League this season, recording six clean sheets.
Raya, who sees his deal with the Bees expire in 18 months time, has been identified as the long-term successor to Hugo Lloris. The Frenchman made a costly mistake in the north London derby, handing Arsenal the lead over just quarter-of-an-hour.

Bellingham talks
Chelsea have been dealt a huge blow in the race to sign Jude Bellingham. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Borussia Dortmund for some time now as he continues to impress for club and country.
According to Sky Sports, the England international's father is in contact with the Reds. The report states that Jurgen Klopp is eager to wrap up a deal, with Dortmund said to not stand in Bellingham's way should he seek an exit.
He, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from the Blues, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the midfielder during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City but, after failing to act on their interest, the German giants swooped in and signed the teenage sensation instead.
Dumfries bid
Chelsea have made a €35million (£30.8milion) offer for Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries, according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica. The wing-back has long been a target of the Blues after his dazzling displays in Italy and impressed during the World Cup with the Netherlands.
The report states that Inter are hoping for an increased offer in the region of €55million (£48.4million) in the future. Dumfries' current deal at the San Siro expires in two years after joining the Italian giants in 2021 from PSV Eindhoven.
