Bissouma was offered to Chelsea - Saturday's gossip

Ex-Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma, 30, was reportedly offered to Chelsea as a replacement for Argentina's Enzo Fernandez, who joined Manchester City for £125 million. The transfer interest also extended to Manchester City and Chelsea's pursuit of England's Adam Wharton, 22, and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, 22, with Palace rejecting all bids.

Additionally, Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Newcastle United showed interest in Spain's Alex Baena, while Atletico Madrid had no plans to sell the 25-year-old. Wolves might have auctioned off Portugal's Mateus Mane, the 18-year-old forward from the Under-21 squad, before the transfer window closed, with Liverpool and Manchester United expressing interest in the young player.

Arsenal was reportedly considering a £68 million offer for Barcelona and Brazil's Raphinha, 29, in January.
