The mid-season transfer window is set to come to a close today with clubs making last-ditch efforts to bring in reinforcements.
Chelsea leads the pack in the clubs that have done decent business in January with Todd Boehly spending close to 460 million euros in his first two transfer seasons.
The Blues are not done yet as they continue to be linked with a couple of moves on deadline day.
1. Enzo Fernandez
Chelsea are reportedly close to agreeing on a deal with the World Cup-winning midfielder for a British record fee of 120 million euros.
Benfica had played hardball, but it has been said that they have started to look for replacements for the 21-year-old.

He is not for sale and will remain with the Seagulls beyond the deadline. The summer? A different story. But now, he stays. #AFC #BHAFC pic.twitter.com/nNUy4rQCoW
