Transfer news and gossip: Chelsea boss "waits" as Tottenham joins the race for Belgian star

Maurizio Sarri may have his man at Gonzalo Higuain, but the Chelsea boss has not lost hope of adding another player to his team before Thursday's transfer deadline.

Sarri wants to strengthen his midfield options and ease the burden on playmaker Jorginho.

Time is running out for the Italian, however, with the January transfer window closing at 11 pm on Thursday night.

And Sarri is not the only Premier League manager to fight for a late acquisition. Yuri Tielemans became a target for Leicester City on Monday, but it seems that the Fox are competing for the signing of the Belgian.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa is ready to end defender Burnley's nightmare spell at Turf Moor, while the Clarets are determined to add a Birmingham forward before letting another striker go.

Here is an overview of the main reports on the transfers that will take place on Tuesday as time is running out in January.

Sarri publishes an update of the transfer before the deadline

The boss of Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri, acknowledged that he was "waiting" for the signing of the contract for the second month of January after the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain.

Argentine striker Higuain, who arrived on loan from Juventus last week, was the club's top priority for this window, but his Italian coach had hoped to bring in two players before the transfer deadline on Thursday.

Sarri wants to add a central midfielder to his team and help ease the pressure on Jorginho, after Cesc Fabregas was allowed to join Monaco earlier this month.

Sarri said, "I thought it was important to have two players, one arrived, I wait for the other."

Tottenham joins the race for Monaco star Tielemans

Tottenham and Leicester both travel to the Monaco club Yuri Tielemans.

The Belgian international is wanted by the Foxes for a loan swap deal with Adrien Silva.

Both clubs are eager to reach an agreement – although Tielemans is a regular in Monaco this season – but little progress has been made so far.

And now, the Spurs have inquired about the midfielder, according to reports reported in Belgium.

Villa ready to put an end to Gibson Burnley's nightmare

Ben Gibson joined Burnley from Middlesbrough for 12 million pounds last summer.

But now, six months and only 63 minutes of football in the Premier League later, he could move on.

According to Sky Sports, he is wanted by Aston Villa with a loan agreement for a permanent exchange.

Vokes transfer depends on Adams decision

Gibson may not be the only player out of Turf Moor before Thursday's deadline.

But it is understood that Burnley wants to bring Che Adams from Birmingham before letting Sam Vokes join Stoke.

Stoke is ready to pay £ 9m for Wales striker Vokes, who slipped to third in the Burnley forwards.

The Clarets are ready to let him go after seven years at the club, but they absolutely want Adams.

Burnley is trapped with Southampton for Adams and both are willing to double the attacker's salary to about £ 35,000 a week.
