Chelsea are looking to sign a new centre-back in this window, something that has now become hugely public and available in the media. Chelsea probably won’t like that it has become so public, because now everyone knows that they want to sign a new defender and will inflate the prices of their players if the Blues come calling.

Sources: Chelsea in positive talks to sign Jeremy Jacquet and finalize fee deal!
Maybe that’s what’s happening with Jeremy Jacquet and Rennes. Chelsea have been in talks for days to try to sign him, but without progress on the fee agreement. The latest from Fabrizio Romano will now seem like deja vu to Chelsea fans who have seen this all before.
One alternative who has been linked is Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi, with Chelsea reportedly perhaps even turning to alternative targets to Jacquet this week.
But apparently the alternative target is already in the shadows, and his club says it is not for sale in this window!

Bournemouth hold firm
Bournemouth plan to resist any bid for Chelsea target Marcos Senesi in January, talkSPORT reports this week.
The defender will become a free agent in the summer, which makes me think that perhaps if he doesn’t plan to sign a new contract, Bournemouth might actually be open to selling this window if they don’t want to lose him for free in the summer.
The saga is underway
As a Chelsea fan, don’t you find these transfer sagas so boring and frustrating? They seem to become so public every time, which just doesn’t help.
