Chelsea 'are considering a move for PSV Eindhoven's England Under-21 winger Noni Madueke' as manager Graham Potter tries to turn their season around.
The Blues have won just two of their last nine matches and were humiliated 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, piling the pressure on Potter.
But the former Brighton manager will be given time to save Chelsea's season and is being backed in the January transfer market.
They have reached a verbal agreement with Atletico Madrid for the £9million loan signing of Portugal star Joao Felix, beating Manchester United and Arsenal to his signature.
