Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has said the club will seek to secure "top-calibre" players in the upcoming January transfer window.
At the start of the season, it appeared unlikely the Blues would bring in any new faces this season, as they were serving a two-window ban on registering new players after a breach of FIFA rules. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport recently halved the sanction, meaning they are free to spend mid-campaign.
Speculation has intensified regarding Chelsea targets as a result, with Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake, Leicester City full-back Ben Chilwell and Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha mentioned.
