Chelsea transfer rumours
1) Mohamed Salah (Fiorentina)
With four goals in six games since moving on loan to Fiorentina, Mohamed Salah has made an instant impact – far more so than Juan Cuadrado, who moved in the other direction, has for Chelsea.
2) Kevin De Bruyne (Wolfsburg)
Now linked with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United, Kevin De Bruyne has looked superb since leaving Chelsea for Wolfsburg, and could surely do a job in this Blues side.
3) Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
One of the best young strikers in the world, Everton’s Romelu Lukaku may have brought in £28m for Chelsea, but the Blues may struggle to find a better long-term replacement for Didier Drogba.
4) Juan Mata (Manchester United)
Bizarrely sold to rivals Manchester United after being one of Chelsea’s best players in his two and a half years with the club, the Spaniard was surely worth fitting into Jose Mourinho’s side?
5) Andre Schurrle (Wolfsburg)
A talented young forward who always impressed when given a chance, Andre Schurrle should surely have been given more of a chance at Stamford Bridge.
6) Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)
Let go by Chelsea despite looking like one of the best young players in the world whilst in England, Arjen Robben has gone on to enjoy a superb career for Bayern Munich and the Netherlands.
7) Thorgan Hazard (Borussia Monchengladbach)
Younger brother of Eden, Thorgan Hazard could be another top young player Chelsea regret letting go, with the 21-year-old looking strong in the Bundesliga this season.
