Chelsea are likely to only make a move in January for a new player if they feel the perfect opportunity comes up to bolster their squad.

The club have certainly matured in the last few months under the new ownership when it comes to the transfer window. They didn’t sign a player during the previous January.

The Blues will be more likely to see players leave the club. Despite their desire to sell, it will be difficult to find a permanent suitor for the likes of Ben Chilwell midway through the season.

Perhaps their most likely avenue of signing a new player will be if they find an opportunity to bring in the next big talent of the future comes around.

The 18-year-old has impressed of late at Sao Paulo, and has already been on the radar of a number of Premier League sides.

According to CaughtOffside, the Blues are prepared to battle Arsenal for a deal to sign the winger, who can operate on both sides of attack.

There is already a lot of excitement about the prospect of Gomes. He has previously been described as a ‘dribbling monster’ by scout Antonio Mango.

Chelsea so excited by Estevao Willian

Chelsea have already invested big money into the future of their attack, with a lot of excitement over the addition of Estevao Willian in particular.

Estevao has broken Neymar’s Brazilian league goal contribution record at the age of just 18, with there being a lot of hope over he can do when he joins up with the first team at the end of this season.

Chelsea are planning to play Estevao as soon as he joins the club, suggesting he already has the capabilities to make an impact on the starting side in their eyes.
