Rudiger update, Dembele links and more: Chelsea's complete transfer round-up

Completed transfers

Kenedy has been officially recalled from Flamengo amid the club's injury crisis.

Chelsea have also signed 16-year-old Watford talent Travis Akomeah who is now part of the Blues' U18 side.

Potential transfers

Thomas Tuchel is not ruling out any incoming transfers this winter, emphasising the club's lack of available options at the back.

Chelsea would still like to strengthen the full-back position by landing one new player in January.

The list of transfer targets includes Lyon's Emerson (currently on loan from Chelsea), Ajax's Nicolas Tagliafico and Barcelona's Sergino Dest.

Lucas Digne is no longer an option as he has signed his Aston Villa contract.
