Chelsea, on Friday, gave an update on their activities, so far, in the January transfer window. In a post on their website, the Blues announced all the players that have left Stamford Bridge this month on loan and permanent transfers.

January will test Chelsea’s progress. Maresca doesn’t need any new signings at this moment in time. There might come a point at which the Italian wants certain areas of his squad strengthened or remoulded, but right now Chelsea must get players off its books rather than add new ones. Chelsea must resist the temptation to spend more.

Chelsea and Liverpool are both interested in Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who could become available in the January transfer window, according to reports. The 23-year-old has been one of Napoli’s standout performers since his arrival in a €10million (£8.

The January transfer window is official open, giving all 20 Premier League clubs the chance to bolster their squads for the second half of the season. The winter transfer window promises exciting, unpredictable signings and departures across the English top-flight.
