Following the suspension of their transfer ban, Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze has emerged as a target for Chelsea ahead of the January transfer window.

Marca reports that the Blues are closely monitoring the progress of the Nigeria forward who has contributed three goals and an assist in La Liga this season.

Chukwueze joins Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in the list of options and his buyout clause of €60 million would not be a challenge for Frank Lampard, who reportedly has more than €175 million for the winter.

Leicester City will hold on to Kelechi Iheanacho in January despite his limited playing time this season, according to the Telegraph.

Premier League rivals Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are said to be interested in taking the Super Eagles attacker on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has notched in two goals and two assists in the three Premier League outings this season.

He also has two goals in two League Cup appearances. (Goal)
