Chelsea are unlikely to exercise their £40m buy-back option for Nathan Ake and will not be bidding for Bournemouth team-mate Callum Wilson.
The Blues have been scouting former defender Ake and watching Cherries' striker Wilson but are now focusing their attention on other targets during the January transfer window.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with Ake, who played at Stamford Bridge from 2011 to 2017, with the Blues having a £40million buy-back option on the Holland centre-back.
The west London club inserted the buy-back clause into the centre-back's £20m deal to Bournemouth in 2017, and were thought to want Ake back after their FIFA transfer ban was lifted.
Ake came through the same Chelsea youth academy that developed players now thriving under Frank Lampard including striker Tammy Abraham, centre-back Fikayo Tomori and midfielder Mason Mount.
Wilson has been on Chelsea's radar for the past 12 months but they are now unlikely to move for a player who has not scored a League goal since September 28th.
The latest developments gives boss Eddie Howe the re-assurance he can count on two of his best players for the run-in.
Sky Sports News have been told Howe has the full support of everyone at the club.

my point is we should have bought him and sold him for a profit....we could have got 25million more than what we got for him initially
it's not wise cos if we buy him 25 mil ,he wont be in the first eleven therefore teams wont pay for more than 35 or 40 for him

Was there ever an interest? I believe it was as usual a media gimmick and speculation. Nothing official. Same for all the transfer talk. There is nothing in the pipeline.
yeah that's very true, only until they make an official singing of course, otherwise we've signed a lot of of big names before in the media, but officially we end up signing average players.
