Chelsea boss Graham Potter does not want to fuel transfer rumours by commenting on reported targets.
The Blues have been linked with several players in the January transfer window as they try and get their Premier League top-four hopes back on track after a poor first half of the season.
They are reported to be in talks with Benfica over a move for World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez, while Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk have all been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

Ivory Coast international David Datro Fofana is already through the door following his move from Molde.
Potter would not be drawn on any of that speculation ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.
