So, could another forward player arrive in the January transfer window?
Chelsea looking for English winger
according to Reporting by Fabrizio RomanoBorussia Dortmund winger Jamie Benoit-Gittens is being closely monitored by Chelsea. As well as the Blues keeping tabs on the 20-year-old, Liverpool and other top Premier League clubs are also said to be keeping tabs on him.

Bynoe-Gittens has 23 appearances for Dortmund so far this seasonscored 9 goals, provided 5 assists, and played a total of 1,519 minutes.

It’s clear that Stamford Bridge would welcome another striker who can help the likes of Palmer provide a goal threat and output in the attacking areas, helping to break down the ‘low block’ that Chelsea have struggled with in recent weeks. Whether it’s January or the summer, that could be the case for Bynoe-Gittens.
