Despite making no additions to their squad so far this month, Chelsea supporters in the Football Transfer Tavern will be pleased with how their side is looking right now.

Obviously relying on the fact that top goalscorer Diego Costa will stay at Stamford Bridge for at least the remainder of the season – the punters standing at the bar have everything crossed.

However, while there may not be any big-name additions to the first squad this month, Blues boss Antonio Conte could already be looking to the future and players that can be stars for the west London outfit in the coming years – proved by his reported interest in 20-year-old Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore.

With the west London outfit potentially needing more cover and depth in central midfield and in wide areas – something the landlord is keen to see rectified – the Italian manager may not go the whole month without doing any business.

Here are TWO players that could potentially follow Adama to Chelsea during the remainder of the January transfer window…

Franck Kessie

The Atalanta midfielder has been linked with a move to Chelsea throughout the January transfer window, with the Blues understood to have already had a £21m offer rejected for the 20-year-old – a deal that has been talked about across many a table in the tavern.

The box-to-box player has been in brilliant form for the Serie A outfit this season, scoring seven goals in 17 appearances in all competitions from the centre of the park, and his athleticism and ability on the ball make him one of the best young players in Europe at the current time – this one excites the landlord.

Leon Bailey

Antonio Conte’s interest in Adama Traore would suggest that the Italian manager is searching for some cover and competition in wide positions this month, and therefore Genk winger Bailey could be one of his top targets, although the landlord isn’t sure about his hairstyle!

The highly-rated Jamaica international was wide expected to leave the Belgian side for pastures new in the summer, but with Roma and Bayer Leverkusen ready to ramp up their interest in the £20m-rated star, the Blues could be forced to make their move for the exciting forward during the current transfer window.

The 19-year-old would certainly add a new dimension to the Premier League leaders, having scored eight goals and provided 10 assists for Genk this term – an impressive return that will certainly wet the whistle of the Blues supporters standing at the bar.
