Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: Shock Lukaku claim, James hamstring tear, Haaland possible

Hello and welcome to Thursday’s Chelsea live blog from football.london .

The Blues lost more vital ground in the Premier League title race as Danny Welbeck cancelled out Romelu Lukaku’s opener deep into second half stoppage-time as the Seagulls earned a well-deserved point.

At the same time, Manchester City held on to a 1-0 lead against Brentford to extend their lead at the top of the table to what looks like being a mammoth eight points already.

Liverpool on the weekend is simply a must win now.

As well as this, though, there will be some heads turning to the January transfer window that opens later this week.

There are plenty of names being linked with a move to Chelsea, as well as some of Thomas Tuchel’s men possibly leaving next month.

So, with all of this being said, scroll down for the very latest Chelsea-related coverage throughout the day.
