It was another afternoon of frustration for Chelsea as they fell to a fifth Premier League defeat in seven matches after losing at home to Southampton on Boxing Day.
That cut the gap between the Blues and Tottenham to just three points ahead of their trip to Arsenal on Sunday.
After this result, it serves another reminder that Frank Lampard will need to bolster the Chelsea squad in the January transfer window.
Here, we round-up all the latest rumours for Chelsea on the transfer front.
Chelsea target English Championship duo
Chelsea's commitment to developing young English talent could see them bid for two Championship prospects in January, according to the Mail Online.
Queens Park Rangers playmaker Eberechi Eze has caught the headlines in the second tier this term and could tempt the Blues into a New Year bid.
Ben White, on the other hand, is attracting interest from England's biggest clubs on loan at Leeds United from Brighton and Hove Albion.
Pedro eyes Barcelona return
Chelsea winger Pedro has admitted he is hoping for a return to Barcelona.
The Spaniard left the Nou Camp in 2015 after rising through their La Masia academy.
However, with the 32-year-old out of contract at Chelsea in the summer and short of game time, he looks set to leave for free in the summer.
"If Barcelona call me, I leave everything," Pedro told L'Esportiu when talking about his future.
Juventus eye Emerson swoop
Juventus are looking for a new left-back and have made Chelsea defender Emerson their top target.
According to Calciomercato.com worked under Maurizio Sarri last season and is seen as ideal competition for Alex Sandro.
Chelsea have been linked with Ben Chilwell themselves and could allow Emerson to leave if they can agree a deal for the Leicester City full-back.
