Chelsea have been dealt a blow in their reported pursuits of two left-wing-back options.<\/p>\n

Chelsea hunting for a left-back amid Ben Chilwell woes<\/h2>\n

It was confirmed<\/a> last month that Ben Chilwell is expected to be out for the rest of the season as he requires surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament.<\/p>\n

Ben Chilwell had been crucial to Chelsea\u2019s impressive early-season form, scoring three and assisting one in six league outings.<\/p>\n

In turn, it is probably not too much of a coincidence that both the Blues\u2019 form and ability to keep clean sheets has tailed off massively since Chilwell was sidelined.<\/p>\n

So, it looks a must for Chelsea to find some cover for Chilwell in January as, even if Marcos Alonso is playing well, he cannot play every game at left-wing-back from now until the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

A number of options have so far been touted. One was to\u00a0recall Emerson Palmieri<\/a>, currently on loan at French outfit Lyon.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it was suggested Chelsea could\u00a0sign Ryan Bertrand<\/a>\u00a0from Leicester City. However, those rumours were\u00a0squashed<\/a>\u00a0pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Lucas Digne was also\u00a0linked<\/a>, but he has since joined Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Chelsea will not sign two players<\/h2>\n

More recently, the\u00a0Mirror<\/a> reported that Inter Milan and Croatia star Ivan Perisic has emerged as a potential target for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, PSG outcast Layvin Kurzawa has also been linked<\/a> with the Blues in the last week.<\/p>\n

Now though, neither of those players looks as though they will be heading to west London this month.<\/p>\n

This comes with Fabrizio Romano reporting that there is no chance for Perisic to leave Inter in January.<\/p>\n

The transfer expert adds that there is \u2018no way\u2019 for Perisic and Kurzawa [to join Chelsea] and there are no talks ongoing:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no chance for Ivan Perisic to leave Inter in January despite Chelsea links. No way for Perisic and Kurzawa, no talks ongoing. ? #CFC<\/a><\/p>\n

Many top clubs are interested in Perisic as free agent for June \u2013 Inter are still working to extend his contract. Nothing done yet.<\/p>\n
