From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Chelsea may be undefeated in their last three matches but they are still playing way below the level expected of them.

Just six months after being crowned Premier League champions, the Blues are recovering but still somewhat in the midst of a crisis, 15th in the Premier League, 12 points away from the top four.

With Diego Costa misfiring and seemingly clashing with Jose Mourinho, and several other stars under-performing, it seems certain that Chelsea will make a couple of moves in the January transfer window to improve their fortunes.

Here we take a look at the players that have been linked with the Blues in recent weeks - some rather more fanciful than others.

We also look at the players who are at risk of getting the chop by the Portuguese manager.
