The deadline day of the January transfer window has been a truly hectic one for many clubs, especially those in the Premier League. As we have witnessed, a lot of English clubs have been doing plenty of work on Friday and a few of them were eager to sign players from China. In the end, Tottenham Hotspur failed to sign Odion Ighalo who decided to join Manchester United on a six-month loan, but one other club decided they did not want to sign a player from China.
That was Chelsea, who reportedly rejected a chance to get Dalian Yifang striker Salomon Rondon on deadline day. The Venezuela striker was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge according to the Telegraph, but it was in the end the European champions from 2012 who decided to reject such an opportunity.
The former West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United player was keen on a move back to England, but the Blues opted against a move for him.
