It is eerily quiet at Chelsea on the transfer front. In truly unprecedented circumstances under Todd Boehly, the Blues have not signed a player this month and we are in the final few days of the transfer window.
The deadline for the mid-season window is on Thursday (February 1), 24 hours after Chelsea's trip to Anfield. Mauricio Pochettino remains relaxed with any outcome – whether the Blues add to their squad before the window slams shut, or if he keeps the same players for the remainder of the season.
The Argentine – in comparison to last month where he called on the owners to make signings after Chelsea were bullied at Goodison Park – seems far more content with what he has at his disposal. That, of course, has something to do with Chelsea's recent form.
With the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) causing fear around the Premier League in recent weeks, it has been an unusually dull transfer window in terms of incomings. The January window is usually nothing compared to what is spent in the summer, but this month a lot of clubs have been cautious with their business.
Chelsea are one of them. Even though the Blues believe they are well within the PSR guidelines, the right players are not available to them right now and they are prepared to wait until the end of the season rather than panic buying.
Victor Osimhen remains the club's top target at striker. The Nigeria international looks almost certain to call time on his Napoli career in the summer with plenty of clubs, including Chelsea, showing a keen interest in his services.
