José Mourinho is evidently not satisfied with Chelsea middling in the current Premier League season. Even with the acquisition of Spain international Pedro from Barcelona, the team still had missed most of The Special One's hopeful signings in the recent summer, which means he is set to go all-out in January.
Paul Pogba ready for a Chelsea move in January: The prized Juventus midfielder is said to be standing by for a £100-million transfer to the Blues when the British transfer window reopens next year.
While Mourinho's desire for the 22-year-old Lagny-sur-Marne, France native never waned, there are also many other competitors to consider, foremost is English rival Manchester City.
City seems to be done with expensive signings for next year after getting Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne this summer for a total of £104 million. However, Chelsea is unsure if Pogba would really end up at Stamford Bridge next year. Verdict: Fiction.
Izzy Brown expects to be recalled by Mourinho in midseason: The 18-year-old winger is currently on loan to Eredivisie club Vitesse as the Chelsea midfield is still packed with veterans and wingers playing at their prime.
Brown is reportedly hopeful that Mourinho will recall him to the first team sometime this season to help the team load up on scorers.
While it is always good to dream, the young Englishman may still have to wait for his time of playing with the big boys. Verdict: Fiction.
Blues target Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi: The Serie A club is reportedly ready to sell their 22-year-old striker and Chelsea is also ready to make an offer.
The young Argentinian is allegedly one of Mourinho's prime targets in January as his current big-name and pricey forwards Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao, and Loic Remy are not playing up to par.
Recent reports said that Inter Milan is looking for Icardi's replacement already. Verdict: Fact.
