No fresh enquiries for Chilwell or Dewsbury-Hall
It’s no secret Chelsea want to bring in an attacking player, and they have been linked with both Mathys Tel and Liam Delap.

Both Chilwell and Dewsbury-Hall have been linked with Everton, but the Blues are said to have received nothing more than initial enquiries.

Dewsbury-Hall’s situation is strange since he only arrived last summer for £30m, but he’s struggled for regular minutes, and only started his first league game of the season against Wolves last week.
The Blues can’t afford to let the 26-year-old go at the moment given their lack of options in midfield due to Romeo Lavia’s injury issues, and it will be interesting to see what decisions are taken in the final few days of the window.
