It could be a very busy end to the transfer window for Enzo Maresca and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. A quiet month in general for the west London club with Renato Veiga the only first-team player to depart, things could possibly burst into life prior to the 11pm deadline on Monday, February 3.

Crystal Palace and West Ham United could attempt to land James McAtee after Bayer Leverkusen moved onto an alternative target

Guehi was a leading transfer target for Newcastle United last summer and the Eagles turned down multiple bids, the biggest of which was worth a reported £60million. And reports claim the Eagles are standing firm on their £70m valuation which is said to be much higher than what Chelsea are willing to pay.

Transfer news LIVE!The January transfer window is in its final days and the Premier League's biggest sides are building up for a grandstand finish. Arsenal continue to be in the market for a striker and are believed to have had a shock £60million bid for Ollie Watkins rejected.

There was perhaps a sense of irony come Saturday evening when Robert Sanchez made a mistake that contributed to Chelsea's 3-1 defeat by Manchester City, with on-loan goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga having already kept a clean sheet for Bournemouth in a win that took them level on points with the Blues.

The Londoners are part of the furniture after 12 years as a Premier League club, so why is there grumbling discontent at Selhurst Park?

Chelsea have ruled out signing a goalkeeper and defender this month, but are still targeting a striker, winger, and possibly a midfielder.

The biggest target elsewhere is Mathys Tel, who appeared to bid goodbye to Bayern Munich fans on teh pitch last night and is the subject of a bidding war involving Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and, potentially Arsenal. Spurs have also been linked with Yoane Wissa, Noah Okafor, Tyler Dibling and Angel Gomes.

Just past the half-hour mark, defender Trevoh Chalobah headed in Will Hughes' corner to level the scores. Seven minutes after the interval, Eberechi Eze rifled into the bottom corner for 2-1 after Daniel Munoz's looping cross was helped into his path.

There are also major concerns that Cheick Doucoure will miss the rest of the season through injury. The Mali international had his minutes managed after suffering a serious Achilles injury against Luton in November 2023 and was just getting back to full fitness.

Crystal Palace are considering entering the transfer market this month for a centre-back after Chadi Riad sustained a serious knee injury in training. The Morocco international is expected to miss the remainder of this season and Palace’s pre-season campaign for next term as a result of the injury.
