Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that Chelsea will be "quiet" during the final days of the January transfer window.

Despite spending in excess of £1bn during their first three transfer windows, it was heavily reported that co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital would be active at the turn of the year.

At one stage, there were claims that head coach Pochettino was keen to add a new centre-back, midfielder and forward to his first-team squad.

Instead, Chelsea have not made a single senior addition, while their outgoings have been limited to several fringe players departing on loan.

If reports are to be believed, the likes of Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja - all academy graduates who would generate pure profit - are all available for the right price.

However, no acceptable offers have been made for any of the trio, ensuring that the West Londoners have been not been able to be as active as they may have wanted.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Tuesday, Pochettino insisted that he was 'not excited' for deadline day, indicating that Chelsea are unlikely to be busy.

The Argentine said, as quoted by football.london: "I am not excited for Thursday. Not too many things are going to happen. We are quiet, the market is quiet."

When specifically pressed on the aforementioned trio of Chalobah, Gallagher and Broja, Pochettino added: "At the moment, no news. At the moment, all is quiet, calm and relaxed.

"I was talking with the players, not only these players, but with the whole squad, in meetings today. Of course, at the moment, we are all relaxed about the whole situation of the squad."

As well as those three players, Chelsea must also reach decisions over a number of prospects that have returned from their respective loan spells elsewhere.

Earlier this week, it was alleged that the likes of Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei would remain at the club, as well as Deivid Washington who has barely featured for the first team or Under-21s.

Chelsea must ensure that they are in a position to meet FFP regulations later in the year, with Everton and Nottingham Forest having already been formally charged by the Premier League for breaching Profit and Sustainability rules.
