When considering transfer targets for any club, several factors come into play, like the number of competitions to be played, profile of the club, expiring contracts, playing style, players to be sold etc. With the season coming to an end, there have been a lot of speculation surrounding expected transfers to and from Chelsea FC, ranging from the “absolutely ludicrous” to the “not so silly”.
But whatever the case may be, Chelsea do need to make a few additions to complement the efforts of the title-winning squad and to also help the club push on in its quest to secure Mourinho’s first Champions League title with the club.
With the team currently short in certain areas, like in attack due to the exit of Didier Drogba and the injury problems suffered by Costa and Remy, attacking midfield with Juan Cuadrado (who is rumoured to be going back to Italy on loan) being the only reliable back-up option and in goal with Cech almost certain to leave, I have taken stock and come up with a list of the most credible transfer targets for the club.
NOTE: The names on this list largely represent my personal preference from the hundreds (it seems like hundreds to me!) currently being pushed forward by the press.
