What happened. Former Crystal Palace striker Fraizer Campbell has tipped Chelsea to make a move for Adam Wharton in the January transfer window. Chelsea are long-term admirers of the England international and considered a summer move, but Palace would not let him leave.

• Chelsea missed out on signing a central midfielder in the summer window.
• They tried for Lamine Camara but ended up short in midfield.
• The Blues scoured the free agent market for midfield options.

Chelsea's long-term interest in Wharton could finally materialise when the January window opens.
