The plethora of creativity that Chelsea currently hold behind the striker role is unbelievable, but that doesn’t stop everyone linking them with a number of others. Not only does the national press seem to pull names out of hats when it comes to transfer stories in the Premier League, but they insist on continuing the rumours until the point of exhaustion. The latest name in the press is Julian Draxler, who is attracting interest from a trio of topflight clubs.

The rebirth of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea has taken a few bumps of late. The Special threw a paddy in a press conference and stormed out over a simple question and fans have been critical with some of his team selections. However, a major positive this season has been the continued fine form of Brazlian midfielder Ramires. The Metro, however, are throwing cold water over the Blues’ hopes as they report that Real Madrid will throw a £15m offer at the club in January.

This summer saw Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois join Atletico Madrid for a second consecutive season as Petr Cech refuses to be dislodged from the Stamford Bridge sticks. However, as the 21-year-old learns his trade in La Liga, it was expected that he would return next season and command his place as number one. But French sources are now reportingthat Chelsea have reached an agreement for Barclelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes, who will leave Camp Nou in the summer.
