Chelsea could make another move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba in January, according to reports.
The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the France international during the summer window, but Juventus were keen to hold onto its most prized possession.
Juventus have reportedly slapped a €100m on the 22-year-old, but Turkish football agent Musren Izzet says Chelsea could look to make sign Pogba in January in an attempt to ward off interest from La Liga giants Barcelona.

“Chelsea could sign Pogba when the transfer window opens again,” Izzet is quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.
“That would then open the door for John Obi Mikel to sign for Besiktas.”
Blues boss Jose Moutinho was understood to have blocked Mikel’s move to Besiktas during the summer window with the Premier League champions unable to sign Pogba.
Should Juventus choose to cash-in on Pogba, Chelsea will have to battle Barcelona for a youngster’s signature, with the Catalan club understood to be keen to lure the talented midfielder to the Camp Nou.
