Journalist Miguel Delaney has now claimed that Chelsea have just agreed to let one of their players leave in the late stages of the transfer window.
He took to Twitter to state that a deal had been agreed with Fulham for Armando Broja to join them on loan until the end of the season.

Gary O’Neil’s side have already seen a dry loan turned down, while Chelsea’s local rivals have been in negotiations with them for a number of days now.
West Ham have also been interested in a deal, however they were strongest linked when a permanent exit seemed the most likely fee.
It was claimed that the Blues were looking for a substantial loan fee in order to part ways with Broja this month.
Armando Broja next club
The academy graduate was an unused substitute last night at Anfield, with Mauricio Pochettino choosing to line up without a striker on the pitch.
This was perhaps a sign a deal was on the cards, and it has now emerged that a move across West London is on the cards.
Delaney has now stated that Broja has decided to join Fulham for the rest of the season.
He said: “Broja going to Fulham for £750k loan fee – am told there are conditions on fee dependent on playing a certain number of games.”
The deal looks as if Fulham have certainly come out on top, especially taking into account what fees were being requested for the player earlier in the window.
