Chelsea are likely going to receive plenty of offers they don’t deem suitable for players who they would be willing to part ways with this month.

The January transfer window presents a chance for a number of players who have not been playing as much as they would have liked to seek moves away, either on loan or permanently.

It has been reported that the Blues are open to the departures of both Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka, with neither making a Premier League start this season.

Chelsea reject bid from Wolves for Renato Veiga

Top flight sides will recognise the talent Chelsea have on their bench every single week, and one of those players more often than not is Renato Veiga.

Enzo Maresca has notably been full of praise for the Portugal man this season, particularly impressed by his versatility and calmness in his first campaign at the club.

He has also broken through as a full-time international. Diogo Dalot described Veiga’s Portugal debut as ‘excellent’.

However, it has been claimed Veiga is beginning to get frustrated at his lack of minutes, and this has prompted Wolves to make an offer to bring him in this month.

Ben Jacobs has stated that Chelsea have turned down the approach, seemingly ending interest from Molineux for the time being.

He said: “Chelsea have turned down an approach from Wolves for Renato Veiga. Wolves recently enquired but a January switch to Molineux is now not on the cards.”

Could Renato Veiga leave Chelsea in January?

A number of clubs from the Premier League and beyond have been linked with bringing in the young defender, who has shown he can start for a lot of sides already.

Napoli are interested in a deal for Veiga, with them also citing an interest in other Chelsea players such as Cesare Casadei.

Bournemouth are also keen on a potential loan for the Portuguese star, which would make him the second loanee from Chelsea on the South Coast after Kepa Arrizabalaga.

With the Conference League and FA Cup still to come in the second half of the season, Veiga still has an important role to play in the coming months.
