Addressing Chelsea's Leroy Sane links

Transfer season is never dead...

Whether you love it or you hate it, you can never avoid the transfer rumours whether we are in an open window or not.

But believe it or not, the next open window is just four months away… so it’ll soon be here.

Do I expect Chelsea to be busy? No, not at all. But things can be so dependent on circumstances. Chelsea may not be planning to be busy in January, and this window is also notoriously quieter than summer due to there being less time and clubs not liking to lose players halfway through a season whilst games are being played.

This winter window can be very unsettling, but transfer business can happen, especially with clubs who are struggling with form or injuries.

We will see how this one pans out, but I can tell you that there are a few players beginning to become unsettled at their early lack of playing time. I think you can probably guess the names, but it is not surprising that some of them are growing frustrated.

This always has the chance of leading to players asking to leave the club, whether it be publicly or privately, and this could push other moves to happen.

I can confirm and have been told that Chelsea ARE keeping a very close eye on the situation of Leroy Sane at Bayern Munich, he is a player that they like and he could soon be available for sale by his club.

These situations change weekly, but as things stand right now Chelsea would not make a move for him unless other players wanted to leave/were sold by the club. But they are as ever keeping an eye of the situation here and are interested in signing Sane at some point in the future should he become available.
