Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Monday, December 7.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Chelsea among the busiest clubs and biggest spenders in world football.

After two windows without signing a single player, the Blues made up for lost time by splashing well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. Attention will now switch to the January window and whether Chelsea will invest heavily again.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Monday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Chelsea 'want to sign David Alaba in January'

Chelsea are reportedly determined to bring Bayern Munich defender David Alaba to the club during the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old has still not penned a new contract at the Allianz Arena, and as it stands, he will be available on a free transfer at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Alaba, if his situation remains unchanged, could enter into contract talks with foreign clubs at the start of 2021, and a number of teams are said to be interested in his services.

However, according to Bild, Chelsea want to sign him in January and hope that Bayern will be tempted to negotiate a mid-season deal with the Blues rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.

Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also all been credited with an interest in the Austria international.

The versatile defender has made 15 appearances for Bayern during the 2020-21 campaign, while he has represented the Champions League holders over 400 times in all competitions.



Chelsea 'still interested in Juan Musso'

Chelsea will reportedly consider a future move for Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso if they are able to part ways with Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Blues were linked with the Argentina international during the summer transfer window before they eventually concluded a deal for Edouard Mendy.

However, with frequent speculation regarding Arrizabalaga's future and Willy Caballero in the latter stages of his career, Frank Lampard will soon require more competition for the Senegal international.

According to Mundo Udinese, Chelsea still hold an interest in Musso, who is valued in the region of £27m.

Musso has conceded just eight goals in as many games for Udinese this season, while he made his Argentina debut as recently as last year.

The stopper, also a target for Paris Saint-Germain, has just over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract.
