Luiz deal to spark surprise Chelsea spending spree before market shuts

Chelsea could go on a spending spree in the final week of the winter market.

The Guardian says along with Benfica defender David Luiz, Chelsea are considering strengthening in other areas if they receive encouragement that long-standing targets have become available.

A list of potential signings has been drawn up in discussions between manager Carlo Ancelotti and the Chelsea hierarchy.

Players such as Ajax's defender Gregory van der Wiel, the Anderlecht forward Romelu Lukaku, the Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and the forward Alexis Sánchez of Udinese are thought to be under consideration.
