Chelsea have already moved on a few players during this transfer window as they look to make room for further signings before the window slams shut at the end of this month.
The focus is on another defender, and more attackers. They signed Raheem Sterling, but as well as Romelu Lukaku leaving, Timo Werner joined him last week by returning to his former club RB Leipzig.

It didn’t work out for either player at Stamford Bridge, and both of them also now have another thing in common other than rejoining their previous clubs, they’ve both spoken about Thomas Tuchel’s playing system not suiting them.
Werner is the latest one to mention it in an interview reported by Sport1 today.
“For me, the fun of playing football is in the foreground. Of course I had a lot of success at Chelsea FC, but the fun was a bit lost in the end because I didn’t play regularly anymore,” said Werner.
“I think that the coach’s game system did not fit me perfectly. That’s why it was clear to me that I wanted to take a new step. I’m at an age where I want to play as much as I can.”
They also do say though that Werner left Chelsea ‘on good feelings’ despite this. He was also spotted at The Bridge on Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham!
