Buy: Alex Sandro

One of the positions in which Chelsea lack cover is left wingback. For every position, there is an additional experienced player (or at least someone who Conte trusts) to start in important fixtures except for LWB. Sure, Azpilicueta and Moses could play there, but they have another recognised position in the team and they also need rest. Proper cover will solve those issues so Sandro is one of the ideal players Chelsea could yet again try to sign.

Loan: Kenedy

Kenedy should be loaned because Chelsea haven’t used him much since he signed two and half years ago. His start was not bad. He featured under Mourinho and Hiddink, mostly due to injuries. His appearances have been limited to a few domestic cup games and non-significant league matches since then. Hence, he should head out temporarily. Hopefully to somewhere he could flourish, unlike Watford where he was virtually unused.

Sell: No-one

Chelsea shouldn’t sell anyone. Every senior squad player has their part to play in the Blues 2017/18 efforts. Chelsea could sell some of the loanees. There are a few players who don’t have a future at Stamford Bridge. It would be best for those players to sign for a club where they can grow, rather than wandering from club to club each season.
