Marquinhos (Paris Saint Germain to Chelsea)
Chelsea are believed to have made two last-ditch bids to sign the highly-rated centre-back after missing out on top defensive target – Everton’s John Stones – but Paris Saint-Germain knocked them back.
The Blues still signed Papy Djilobodji and Michael Hector on deadline day to bolster their defensive ranks, but Marquinhos is on another level and could be targeted again when the window reopens if Jose Mourinho’s side are still leaking goals. He is not a regular for PSG and could be convinced to move.
