Noah Sadiki, currently with Sunderland, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Chelsea. The midfielder could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. While Man Utd have shown interest, Chelsea currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far this season, Chelsea are steady at both ends (1.67 goals scored per game, 1.0 goals conceded per game). The role for Noah Sadiki would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Sunderland have also been linked with Santiago Gimenez while Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Valentin Barco, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Harvey Barnes. Can't get enough Chelsea transfer rumours?
