Chelsea unlikely to spend in January

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon claims the club is unlikely to sign any new players in the January transfer window.

The credit crunch has been hitting the Blues, who have been one of the biggest spenders in world football in recent years, hard.

”Traditionally we have never done a lot in January and this January is no exception,” Kenyon said at a press conference on Monday.

”We have not finalised whether we will do anything or not. It is all about what we want to do and are those players available.

”Short term fixes are not really what work for a team like Chelsea. I think we will see little or no activity as the players we would want to bring in to Chelsea for the long term are probably not available.”
