Chelsea secured a £12m deal for France U21 defender Kurt Zouma back in January and will be looking forward to him arriving at Stamford Bridge in the next few months. The Saint-Etienne centre-half had the pick of a couple of clubs, according to reports, but turned them down to work with Jose Mourinho. Manchester United were one of the clubs he rejected, and I think he was right to do so.
There has been a lot of talk about strikers at Chelsea this season with some huge names linked with a move to the club over the summer. Diego Costa is one, but I am here to tell Jose Mourinho – I know you’re reading, Jose – to forget about signing the Spain international and to concentrate on the forward that is right under your nose.
Chelsea came close to securing the Premier League title last season but ultimately fell short in the final stages. Jose Mourinho’s return was trophy-less and in order to make sure that doesn’t happen again, the Blues are said to be ready to spend £81m to land Atletico Madrid trio Diego Costa, Diego Godin, and Felipe Luis. Let’s have a closer look at the three in question.
According to reports, Paris Saint Germain are preparing a £15 million bid for Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic this summer. For me, the Blues must do everything they possibly can to keep hold of the Serbia international, and here’s why.
With Barcelona essentially opening the door for a Cesc Fabregas exit this summer, it is said that Chelsea are ready to offer him a way back to the Premier League. For me it would be a cracking deal should it happen, but here are three players who could follow the Spain international into the club this summer.
With David Luiz supposedly on his way out of Chelsea, the Blues will need another face in their thin defence. Mourinho’s men had the best defensive record in the Premier League last season and have Kurt Zouma coming in over the summer, but that would leave them just Gary Cahill, John Terry and the aforementioned Zouma. Reports are now linking the club with Real Madrid’s Raphael Varane. Here’s why it would be a good move for the Blues.
With Chelsea supposedly looking for a new striker to strengthen Jose Mourinho’s frontline, I am ready to put this player’s name into the frame. Fernando Llorente may be the cheap option for the Blues but there is no doubt in my mind that he could be a hit in west London.
Frank Lampard is said to be on the brink of joining New York City after being released by Chelsea. However, here are three reasons why I would suggest that the Blues should offer him another year.
