Chelsea's winter transfer window was very quiet and no major purchases or sales were made. However, Dalian Yifang did offer them a player at the late minute. The Chinese outfit offered them Salomon Rondon, but the West London club rejected the offer.

The end of the winter transfer window was quite quiet at Stamford Bridge, without major activity. 

However, Chelsea had the opportunity to bolster their strike force with a forward who has experience in the Premier League. 

According to 'The Telegraph', the Londoners were offered Salomon Rondon at the last minute. 

The report says that Dalian Yifang, the Venezuelan player's club, gave Chelsea the option of having him on loan for the rest of the season. 

Chelsea turned down the offer since they felt that Rondon would not significantly improve the side.
