Transfers

GOAL rounds up all the completed Chelsea transfers in the 2025-26 season so far.

Chelsea have axed one of their summer loan signings after just four months, and now Leeds United will take him for the second half of the season. The Blues have often been parodied for signing so many players, many of whom are then jettisoned to their 'bomb squad' and away from the first team. But now, Daniel Farke's men have taken a certain player off the west London team's hands.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has confirmed that Brazilian striker Richarlison has been ruled out of action for seven weeks after sustaining a hamstring problem. The 28-year-old is the latest Spurs player to suffer a serious injury and joins team-mates such as Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohamed Kudus, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski on the sidelines.

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has issued an update on wantaway midfielder Lucas Paqueta's future amid links with Flamengo. The Brazilian reportedly asked not to be selected for West Ham's FA Cup win over Queens Park Rangers last weekend in light of reports he is 'disillusioned' in east London. Ahead of their clash with Tottenham, manager Nuno has spoken about the player's situation.

Jesse Lingard is training alone again, having become a free agent, and is currently mixing business with pleasure during a trip to Dubai. The former Manchester United midfielder is without a club after severing ties with Korean outfit FC Seoul. His desire to compete at the highest level on a regular basis has previously been called into question by Paul Scholes.

Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of finally securing Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as part of a major summer overhaul. Despite a quiet January expected under newly-appointed boss Michael Carrick, club chiefs are already plotting a massive midfield restructure for the next permanent manager, with the Cameroonian ace identified as a top priority to replace outgoing stars at Old Trafford.

Andy Robertson has cast serious doubt over his Liverpool future, admitting he needs to "sit down with my family and decide" his next move as his contract ticks down. The Scotland captain, who has lost his starting spot to Milos Kerkez this season, insisted he is "a player who wants to play" and hinted that his reduced role under Arne Slot could force him to look elsewhere after almost nine trophy-laden years at Anfield.

Birmingham City are closing in on a sensational transfer for Danish striker August Priske. The Championship side, partly owned by NFL legend Tom Brady, have reportedly leapfrogged Besiktas and Lille to lead the race for the Allsvenskan top scorer. With personal terms nearly agreed, the towering ace could be the marquee signing to push for the Premier League.

Tottenham have raided champions Manchester City to secure a key piece of their boardroom puzzle, appointing Carlos Raphael Moersen as their new director of football operations. The move marks a major step in the club's restructuring under Johan Lange, as the north Londoners seek to modernise their hierarchy and close the gap on the elite.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is facing fresh scrutiny over his treatment of Federico Chiesa, with the winger's former mentor branding the Dutchman's selection policy a "mystery." As the Italian international closes in on a sensational return to Juventus this month, questions are being asked about why a player perfectly suited to the Premier League was left in the cold at Anfield.

Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are set for a heavyweight transfer tussle over Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, with the Spanish giants desperate to find a successor for Conor Gallagher. The England international completed his £35 million switch to Tottenham this week, leaving a gaping hole in Diego Simeone’s engine room that the Brazilian ace has been identified to fill.

Enzo Fernandez is reporting “considering his future” at Chelsea following the departure of Enzo Maresca as manager. The Blues took the decision to part with the Italian tactician on New Year’s Day, with Liam Rosenior now calling the shots at Stamford Bridge. It is being suggested that World Cup winner Fernandez could be lured away from west London, with Paris Saint-Germain among his many suitors.

Radu Dragusin has made his intentions crystal clear to Tottenham chiefs, with reports from Italy suggesting the defender is desperate to seal a permanent exit from London this month. The Romanian international has his heart set on a move to Roma and is reportedly willing to snub interest from the Bundesliga to ensure he never has to return to the Premier League club.

Manchester United legend Jaap Stam has identified his "dream" January signing, urging the Red Devils to finally secure the services of Barcelona playmaker Frenkie de Jong. The former defender believes the Dutch maestro, who has long been on the club's radar, is the missing piece to transform United's midfield, while also tipping a Brighton star for a move to Old Trafford.
