TRANSFER COLUMN: Chelsea lower price for Broja, Ekitike is heading to Germany

The January transfer window will slam shut at 11pm tonight, with clubs still hoping to get deals done before the fast-approaching deadline.

This winter window has been characterised by a distinct lack of big moves this summer, with clubs looking to rein in their spending to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.

But the rumours continue to swirl as the clock ticks down. Chelsea's Armando Broja is among the players who could still be on the move, with Fulham interested in the 22-year-old.

Conor Gallagher looks to be staying put at Stamford Bridge amid significant interest from Tottenham, while Hugo Ekitike, a former Man United and Newcastle target, is heading to the Bundesliga.

Below, Mail Sport takes a look at the transfer rumours on Wednesday morning.
