Chelsea new signings: Confirmed ins and outs for January 2026

In this article, we will take you through all of the Chelsea new signings in the 2026 January transfer window, as well as all the players that have left Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca's first season in West London ended with Chelsea securing a return to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and winning the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) trophy. The Blues finished in the Premier League's top four after a hard-fought final-day 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, securing their place in Europe's premier club football competition.

They followed this with a 4-1 UECL victory against Real Betis, becoming the first club to win all available European trophies, and also impressively won the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC), beating heavy favourites PSG 3-0 in the final. It was another busy summer for the Blues, in terms of both ins and outs, but with the somewhat shock departure of Maresca midway through the season, Chelsea could also be busy in January to help their new manager settle in.

Chelsea cannot be judged for this window yet as it is so early. It will be easier to judge the Blues' business once some incomings and outgoings happen.
