The Chelsea fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are used to the Blues signing young Brazilian stars…
Over the last few years, the Blues have built up quite the reputation for their Brazilian contingent, with players like Ramires, Willian and Oscar becoming key parts of the Chelsea set up in recent seasons.
However, with Oscar’s future remaining uncertain, and Ramires long-since departed – the Blues could do with a few more samba sensations in their squad.
Our landlord thinks that Brazilians have provided the Blues with some of their greatest moments in recent years, and a few more signings from the country could prove shrewd by Antonio Conte
With that said, here are 3 Brazilians that Chelsea should sign in January to light up Stamford Bridge
Lucas Moura
Lucas Moura has often been named as a dream Premier League player by the punters in the Football Transfer Tavern – but no deal has happened so far.
In truth, the Brazilian attacking midfielder has everything to make it in England, and Chelsea would struggle to do better in January than to capture the talented 24-year-old.
He remains a bit-part player at PSG, though he has come into the fold slightly more as of late – and that could offer Chelsea a way in. The Blues know Moura very well, given how well he has performed against the club during their numerous encounters in the Champions League.
A quick, technically gifted midfielder – an attacking midfield trio of Moura, Oscar and Willian could prove absolutely sensational.
Fabinho
Chelsea are in desperate need of a new full-back, and Fabinho could be the perfect man.
The 22-year-old defender currently plays for Monaco, and he will certainly make the jump to a top league before too long – but Chelsea must be sure to get in there first.
He would be perfect playing on the wing as part of Chelsea’s new look 3-4-3 formation; given his efficiency both defensively and offensively.
He would offer the Blues real width and pace down the right-hand side, and would offer a final resolution to Antonio Conte’s right-back woes.
Felipe Anderson
Felipe Anderson has been linked with a Chelsea move in recent weeks, and it is easy to see why.
The Brazilian is versatile, and that is no doubt what will attract Conte to him, given that he is able to play in both an offensive and a defensive role.
He would be perfect on the right-hand side of the Chelsea defence as a wing-back, and would offer an excellent combination of both attack and defence.
Make it happen, Antonio.
