Chelsea didn’t make one signing for their first team during the January transfer window, only a couple into the academy and a loan recall.
This means that the last player The Blues signed to come into their senior squad is the loan signing of Atletico Madrid midfielder, Saul Niguez.

The Spanish international was the subject of the summer’s transfer window deadline day drama as he got his deal pushed through in the final moments.
But things have been far from dreamy for him since he arrived at the club, and he has fallen way down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel.
Recently his performances have been much better and he is likely to get more minutes here and there, but I don’t think anyone believes he will be having a Chelsea career beyond the summer.
Saul himself admits he would like to be playing more, but understands the difficulty in such a quality squad, as seen here…
Saul Niguez:
"Personally, I would like to have played more but I also understand that this team won the #UCL last season so it is difficult to get into the team. I feel good and every day I’m feeling better and prepared for when the head coach needs me."
