Transfer expert says it is ‘likely’ Chelsea player joins Premier League rivals before January window shuts

Chelsea are expected to be busy over the next 72 hours as they finalise any moves they want done before the end of the January transfer window.

So far the Blues have only added Trevoh Chalobah to their first team squad. The Cobham graduate has been thrown straight into the starting side after he returned from his loan at Crystal Palace.

The outgoings list is not so impressive either. The only player of note to move on so far is Renato Veiga, who has joined Juventus until the end of the season.

Everton want a Chelsea player on loan this month

This is not due to players not being made available though. If reports are to be believed, they are happy to part ways with a number of individuals in this transfer window.

The likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carney Chukwuemeka have found minutes extremely difficult to come by this season, whilst someone like Ben Chilwell has been left out of the first team squad completely.

This trio are on the radar of a number of sides, however Graeme Bailey has exclusively predicted to The Chelsea Chronicle that one Premier League club in particular could be pushing for one of these over the weekend.

He claimed that Everton are keen on bringing in a player on loan from Stamford Bridge, sending back Armando Broja in return.

He said: “One of these players could go to Everton. We know Everton want to send Broja back because he’s injured, and in return they take a Chilwell, Dewsbury-Hall or Chukwuemeka. I still think there’s a strong possibility one of those three goes to Everton. A Chelsea player is likely to go to Everton, I believe. I think they would like that.”

Do Chelsea want Armando Broja to return?

Broja has unfortunately been plagued by injuries again since making the switch to Goodison Park for the rest of the season.

Despite his limited minutes, it has been claimed that Chelsea are not keen on recalling Broja to undergo his treatment.

However, the opportunity to give minutes to a player who isn’t getting them in West London could change their mind, and it remains to be seen if Everton make a push for any of the players before the transfer window close on Monday.
