Chelsea reportedly sets sights on Everton's Onana
Chelsea has spent plenty of money on recruitment during the January transfer window, landing Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueka, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.
But the Blues may not be done with transfer activity before Wednesday's (AEDT) window closure.
Chelsea is still eager to bolster its midfield options, having missed out on a few key targets.
Chelsea will move to sign unsettled Everton defensive midfielder Amadou Onana, according to The Times.
The Blues will divert their attention to the Senegal-born Belgium international after missing out on Benfica's Enzo Fernandez and Brighton and Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo.
Onana was given a leave of absence from Everton training earlier this week and is unhappy given the club's plight with Frank Lampard sacked as manager this week.
