Dynamo Moscow director Dmitry Gafin says Chelsea will face competition for Arsen Zakharyan in January.
Chelsea and Dynamo remain in talks for the winger.
Gafin told Sport-Express: "We are very flattered that such clubs like Chelsea are interested and not only Chelsea are showing interest in Arsen.
"The transfer did not happen now, because, most likely, the buying club did not find an option to complete the transfer. Unfortunately, we are now in extraordinary conditions, so the transfer did not take place. We cannot be in a situation where we have no player and no money.
"We communicate very closely with Chelsea, the club retains interest. Yes, you are right, in the winter the deal can take place. Was the request only from Chelsea?
"We know that scouts of big clubs come to our stadium."
