Frank Lampard set to make Dele Alli his first signing

Top-flight sides will need to get their business done before 11pm, or be left scouring the free agent list.

And one side who are really going for it this January are Aston Villa, who have reportedly had a £20m bid for Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur rejected.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard is reportedly set to make Dele Alli his first signing if he is announced as Everton manager.

And we bring you the very latest from Stamford Bridge, where a number of stars could be coming and going over the weekend.

Growing crowd trouble could wreck the special atmosphere at English grounds - Thomas Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel fears growing crowd trouble could wreck the special atmosphere at English grounds.

Chelsea’s boss spoke out after Antonio Rudiger was hit by a bottle opener and a lighter hurled from the section of Stamford Bridge housing Tottenham’s fans.

Blues defender Rudiger made it known to referee Paul Tierney but is not taking the matter further.

This incident comes at the end of a weekend in which disorder has resurfaced at Premier League grounds.

Objects were hurled by Everton fans in their defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday and there were pitch invasions at Southampton during their draw with Manchester City that evening.

Tuchel said: “If it’s a new trend we should act together to stop it as soon as possible to protect the environment of this game and the atmosphere that’s absolutely unique in England.

“I love to have the fans close to the pitch.

“Not behind fences and not behind nets. It’s a brilliant atmosphere.

Matt Doherty somehow escaped a red card for a horror challenge

Tottenham's Matt Doherty somehow escaped a red card for a horror challenge on Chelsea ace Malang Sarr in the first-half at Stamford Bridge.

The Irishman went in extremely late on the centre-back, dragging his studs down the inside of his shin and Blues fans online were fuming.

It was just before the 20 minute mark when Sarr broke forward by the half-way line with Doherty in pursuit.

The Frenchman looked to have plenty of time as he laid a simple pass off, but how wrong he was.

As Sarr played the ball, Doherty lunged with his left and his studs scraped down the inside of the 23-year-old's leg - leaving him writhing on the ground in agony.

Medical staff rushed on as the match announcer confirmed a VAR check was taking place.

But the Stockley Park officials, led by VAR Darren England, decided the challenge did not warrant a red.

Paul Tierney had also NOT booked the former Wolves man so the game, and Sarr after lengthy treatment, carried on.

But Blues fans were not happy on social media.

'Ankle-breaker' and 'disgusting' were just some of the words used by shocked supporters.

Romelu Lukaku is a ticking timebomb

Jamie Carragher is concerned Romelu Lukaku is a ticking timebomb and Chelsea could soon lose patience with the star man.

The Sky Sports pundit believes the striker, 28, does not really fit in at Chelsea – just like he didn’t at Manchester United.

He wrote in The Telegraph: “When Romelu Lukaku signed for Chelsea, the consensus was that he was a different player to that which left Manchester United.

“Six months later, there is only one valid observation to make about his return to Stamford Bridge. He isn’t.

“All the talk about how a couple of years working with this weekend’s opponent, Antonio Conte, have elevated Lukaku’s game tactically has proven premature.

“Thomas Tuchel is managing the same striker who prompted Manchester United to run out of patience and sell him to Inter Milan.

Derby County’s left-back Dylan Williams in a dream move

Chelsea are snapping up Derby County’s left-back Dylan Williams in a dream move for the young Ram.

The Stamford Bridge club are finalising a fee with the crisis club’s administrators that will see Williams move for an initial sum plus extras.

Williams, 18, played for the Derby first team eight times this season but has been unable to sign a professional contract during their time in admin.

Derby faced losing Williams at the end of the season which means they would have faced a long wait for a tribunal to settle the compensation.

Rooney has also spoken to Williams to discuss the move and all parties have decide it is best he leaves now.

Stamford Bridge – Capacity: 40,853

Stamford Bridge actually predates Chelsea Football Club with London Athletic Club playing here until the club’s inception. When Chelsea Football Club was created in 1905 by the owner of Stamford bridge, they became the primary tenant. The official capacity for the club was over 100,000 before being forced to “move” to an all-seated ground. Chelsea has begun planning for an expansion to roughly 63,000 with the possibility of a brief stay at Wembley during construction.
