Chelsea are eager to make splash signings before the transfer window closes, as they are hoping to put an uncharacteristic slow start behind them.
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is among the Blues’ targets, but the Daily Mirror reports that the defending Serie A champions consider the French international “intransferable”.
Blues owner Roman Abramovich loves a challenge. Can he secure a transfer for the “intransferable”? If anyone can, he can!
Chelsea had their offer of £70m rejected by Juventus, indicating that Pogba may be impossible to sign.

The Blues have already started to become more aggressive in the transfer window by signing winger Pedro and defender Baba Rahman.
Chelsea are continuing to go after Everton defender John Stones, and they have even pondered making a £100m splash double signing of Stones and Pogba, according to recent reports.
Landing Stones could be just as difficult as convincing Juventus to sell Pogba. The Blues have already had three bids rejected, including a £30m offer.
