Scouting For Chelsea
There is absolutely no dearth of ingenious footballers from the Premier League itself that must be up for grabs when we talk about possible transfer deals at a top club like Chelsea. The Blues line up ambitious offers for players wanting a shot at Stamford Bridge amidst the ever-so-volatile top management employed under Roman Abramovich. With speculations rife about international stars and their transfer rumours planning a huge overhaul in an attempt to optimize things for rumoured Italian coach Antonio Conte to inspire title hopes from a European slump as and when his contract expires after the Euros joining Chelsea after Italy are knocked out.
A trophyless season for Chelsea has left them in a mass exodus boasting of a galaxy of stars without a good job appraisal, to say the least. Rounding up Roma duo Radja Nainggolan and Miralem Pjanic, Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani and Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci as all potential targets, the summer season could see major departures from London with the likes of Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Nemanja Matic, Loic Remy, John Terry, Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao, Alexandre Pato and Pedro embracing change.
Understanding the future Chelsea plans to realize, here’s a quick sneak-peek at what could in-house Premier League talents offer to the Blues in terms of experience and skill if they move to Stamford Bridge. Moreover, these 3 names are hot pursuits for Guus Hiddink’s taste and the club has already shown keen interests in signing them up. As much as they have English football exposure, they might as well prove to be the only squad swaps Chelsea desire for over the summer.
3 Premier League Targets:
- Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
Lukaku Having made a big transfer blunder in Lukaku’s case, Chelsea might have pulled out their worst-ever card to have let go off him in the first place to Goodison Park. Even before granting him an exit, he wasn’t given ample chances to prove his worth while at Chelsea. However, the Belgian striker is now excelling at Everton. With 18 goals in 28 appearances, Lukaku has probably been having his best season in the Premier League so far trailing League top-scorer Jamie Vardy by just a goal in the race for the Golden Boot. He has 6 assists to his name as well. Basically, he’s doing far better than even Chelsea’s top scorer Diego Costa.He matched legendary names such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen in achieving the feat of becoming only the fifth player to score 50 Premier League goals before the age of 23, back in November. Shockingly, Lukaku already has 117 goals in his club career; by the same age, Lionel Messi had just ten more at 127. He’s not just any ordinary striker and Chelsea would be mad to pass on the chance to re-sign him as he will surely only improve his scoring rate when another big club snaps him up. Also, in Lukaku, the Blues may have their best chance of replacing none other than the Ivorian stalwart Didier Drogba, as he carries the goal-scoring legacy forward for Chelsea.He seems like the player who is itching to play for a title-contending side that could well be Chelsea if they get him back on board because it’s clear he’s far too good for Everton. So, very literally, he’d have real motivation if Chelsea re-signed him as he sounds like a man with a point to prove. Plus, he could be the single-focal-point that the team needs to build around before entering a new era. Since an overhaul is necessary, this transfer is a mandated priority move that the Blues must not waste time contemplating. If Chelsea does just one thing in the transfer window this summer, it must be to right their earlier wrong of showing the Belgian the back door. Everything is going to fall into place for Chelsea if they just sign him up for Stamford Bridge as soon as possible.
