Lorenzo Insigne, Jules Kounde - The latest Chelsea transfer rumours ahead of January window

Off the back of a summer that saw Chelsea strengthen their squad with the return of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan, Thomas Tuchel could look to improve even further in the winter market.

The Blues spent over £100million to kick on from their Champions League winning side of last season and it has paid off so far, with the Stamford Bridge outfit currently top of the Premier League.

With a busy winter schedule on the horizon, Tuchel may dip into the market to continue their push for the league title.
