The west London giants parted ways with Enzo Fernandez on deadline day, but they could not find a suitable replacement before the window closed. Hence, Chelsea had no time to pursue another alternative, but they are expected to return to the transfer market for a solution in January.

Camara continues to remain under consideration of the hierarchy, but reports claim that Alonso would prefer to recruit Kone from the Giallorossi. The Frenchman had a good World Cup over the summer and was widely touted to leave the Serie A giants until the closing stages of the window.
