Chelsea 'draw up four-man January wishlist'

Chelsea have reportedly drawn up a four-man transfer shortlist with the club expected to spend heavily when the winter window opens for business next month.

The Blues were unable to sign any new players during the summer but are now free to make purchases having had their FIFA-imposed suspension lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

According to the Evening Standard, Frank Lampard's side have £150m to spend in January, and the club have already drawn up a four-man wishlist.

The report claims that Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha, Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, Bournemouth's Nathan Ake and Leicester City's Ben Chilwell are all under consideration.

Both Zaha and Sancho continue to be linked with moves away from their respective clubs, although Bournemouth and Leicester are likely to resist January offers for Ake and Chilwell.

The Blues, who booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Lille on Tuesday night, will continue their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth this weekend.
