Chelsea are free to spend in January once more after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in their favour and reduced Fifa's transfer ban to just one window.
Having served that one-window ban over the summer, which has aided the rise of Chelsea's academy graduates under Frank Lampard, the Blues have long been plotting their moves for next month in anticipation of the CAS ruling.
The west Londoners have £150million to spend next month and a few areas in their squad which need addressing.
Crystal Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha, who handed in a transfer request on the eve of deadline day over the summer but failed to secure a move, continues to eye a move to a Champions League club and Palace will consider any offer which meets their valuation of at least £80million.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund and England winger has long been a target, as has Lyon striker Moussa Dembele.
Despite having both Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmeri as available options, an upgrade is needed at left back with Leicester City's Ben Chilwell their top target in that position, though the high-flying Foxes are desperate not to lose the England international this season. Ex-Chelsea defender Nathan Ake is also a target to bolster Lampard's inexperienced back line.
