Said El Mala, currently with Cologne, 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. Brentford, Liverpool and Tottenham may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Chelsea look balanced this season - 1.53 goals scored and 1.36 goals conceded per game. Said El Mala would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Reports suggest Chelsea are monitoring Robin Roefs whereas Cologne have not been associated with other players at this stage.
