Chelsea transfer rumours - Billy Gilmour set for exit and Dembele eyes Barca stay

Chelsea have had a very quiet January transfer window so far.

Only Richard Nartey and Lucas Piazon have left the club and with just over 24 hours left of the window, there is not expected to be too much more transfer activity.

New boss Thomas Tuchel says he is happy with the squad although if there is a possibility to strengthen before 11pm on Monday night then he will.

In light of this, here are some of the latest rumours involving the Blues doing the rounds.
