You'll find out in the end whether I decide to stay or not." Todd Boehly is set to back Potter in the January transfer window with new signings after spending close to £300million over the summer. Boehly has shown that he is keen to sign talented youngsters to protect Chelsea's long-term future success.

Chelsea have taken the lead in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund starlet Youssoufa Moukoko, according to respected reporter David Ornstein.

And by accelerating their interest, they may reduce the risk of losing him to a rival suitor. But if they can, then beating the competition by bidding in January would be ideal. Adding Moukoko to their squad in January might be beneficial for Chelsea. Their interest comes in the aftermath of an injury suffered by Armando Broja during a mid-season friendly over the weekend. Man Utd have also been tipped to make a move for the Germany international, who was in his country’s World Cup squad and became their youngest player to grace such a stage. Moukoko is enjoying a breakout season in the Bundesliga.

The Athletic's David Ornstein is reporting that Youssoufa Moukoko is in 'advanced' talks to sign for Chelsea amid reports linking him with Liverpool.

‘Moukoko is set to be out of contract at Dortmund at the end of this season and there is a school of thought that Chelsea are doing the groundwork for a summer deal ahead of time, but may find a way to bring him to west London next month.’ ‘A move to Chelsea is certainly not done but other Premier League clubs are under the impression it is advanced and are watching closely, given it may have implications for the availability of Armando Broja, who was taken off the field on a stretcher during a friendly against Aston Villa in Dubai on Sunday.
