Chelsea are ready to make this winter transfer window a remarkable one for their supporters after it was disclosed by the Daily Star that Italian tactician Antonio Conte is seeking four top players this January transfer window.
The midfield role, left back position, forward and center-half positions have been noted by the tactician as the areas the Premier League Champions need to reinforce so as to compete favourably with runaway leaders Manchester City in the English Premier League.
The Blues are also not odd favourites in the UEFA Champions League as they lock horns with FC Barcelona in the second round.
Frenchman Thomas Lemar, Everton forward Ross Barkley, Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk and Juventus full-back Alex Sandro are the men Antonio Conte are considering to sign next month to occupy very vital roles at the West London club as reported by the Star.
The absence of David Luiz from the Blues first team of recent means Chelsea will need additional players in the position including cover for Spaniard Marcos Alonso on the left wing.
Thomas Lemar will hand the likes of Brazilian attacker Willian and Spaniard Pedro stiff competition while Ross Barkley, so close to signing for the Blues in the summer transfer window, will provide a decent alternative for the head coach when he opts to rest Cesc Fabregas in certain games.
The present Chelsea squad is already depleted and needs serious re enforcement. We cannot begin the process of re enforcing by losing some of our best players like David Luis. It is now reported that Barcelona and Juventus want him. That is a clear attestation to his quality. Aside his quality, he is the darling of Chelsea fans worldwide. There’s speculation that he’s not been played recently because of a face up with the coach. The coach himself has stated that he has not been played due to a knee injury. Any attempt to sell him now will support the allegation that the coach is not playing him and wants him out because of the face up. The Chelsea fans universe will resist any such sales. We are yet to deal with The loss of Diego Costa over a face up. We don’t want another, at least,not now. Again Chelsea must spend big to buy an out and out striker in the mould of Harry Kane,Dyballa,Costa, etc who shoot with instinct without dwelling on dribbling. The desire to buy Zaha must be made real. We need need an accomplished striker now than anything else. Chelsea has creative players and creates the most chances in the premiership but without the expected results. Give us strikers this January.
