Odds slashed on Chelsea signing Dzeko; Palmieri deal odds-on

Conte looking to open his transfer war chest

Chelsea fans could be singing the name of a former Manchester City ace come the end of this transfer window – Edin Dzeko.

Coral have slashed on the Bosnian heading to Stamford Bridge.

Dzeko is now just 2/1 to join the Blues from current club AS Roma before the January window slams shut.

However, he’s not the only striker with Premier League experience being linked with a move to the Bridge.

West Ham United powerhouse Andy Carroll is still a possible January buy at 7/2, despite the 29-year-old’s current injury issues.

Meanwhile, talk of a shock deal for Stoke City’s Peter Crouch has done the rounds in the past 24 hours – and at 4/1, that move could have legs.

One man who is odds-on to head to West London before the window ends is Dzeko’s Roma teammate Emerson Palmieiri. The defender is 8/11 to join Antonio Conte’s men before the window ends.

Next up for Chelsea is a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with 6/10 for the Blues to take all three points.
