Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed football chief Michael Emenalo is still working on transfer targets, even with the market shut.
Emenalo is having their scouts keep track of potential signings across the world.
"Of course we think about the future. We look at other players. We keep doing our work. [Technical director Michael] Emenalo has his group of scouts," said Mourinho.
"They are not sleeping in spite of the market being closed. They are working. But just from a coach point of view, I would like the market to be closed in January."
