Chelsea are exploring reinforcements in attack during the January transfer window, with Mathys Tel emerging as a key target. Despite Chelsea’s active negotiations with Bayern Munich, Tel remains committed to proving himself at Bayern, complicating the potential transfer. Fabrizio Romano reports that talks between Chelsea and Bayern are ongoing but progress is slow, particularly as the two clubs assess the futures of both Tel and Christopher Nkunku.

- Challenges Ahead: Chelsea must navigate Tel’s reluctance to leave Bayern and finalise terms with Bayern Munich to complete the deal.
