Antonio Conte has enjoyed a solid start to life in the Premier League and his remit by the club’s hierarchy is clearly to bring silverware back to Stamford Bridge.
His Chelsea side are flying at the moment and the Italian boss’ passion is clearly having an infectious impact upon his group of players, many of whom were part of last season’s squad that performed so poorly.
A group of Chelsea fans who regularly enter the Tavern have been delighted with the club’s start under Conte, with many believing that the squad possesses all the ingredients to go and win the Premier League title.
Our knowledgeable landlord even believes that Conte is performing better than club legend Jose Mourinho did, although the proof will inevitably come at the end of the season.
With the January transfer window on the horizon Chelsea may look to add some more players to their squad, and Tavern writer Lee Clarke looks at two left-wingers who the club might look to sign.
Yannick Carrasco
The Atletico Madrid winger has been in fine form during the current campaign and naturally his performances are making other top European clubs stand up and take notice.
The 23-year-old has netted seven goals in all competitions so far this season and a move to Chelsea would represent a real coup for the Blues.
One Chelsea fan is sat with one of the landlord’s all day breakfast’s here in the Tavern and he thinks Carrasco is just what the Blues need at this moment in time.
Dries Mertens
The Napoli man has been in fine goalscoring form this season, netting six times from 13 games and Chelsea would be bolstered by someone of his quality.
One Chelsea fan is sat watching the latest sports news here in the Tavern and he thinks that Mertens has looked good whenever he has seen him on the television this season, stating that the Blues should look to pursue the Dutchman.
The 29-year-old possesses great quality and unlike other left-wingers, he wouldn’t completely break the bank.
Chelsea fans, would you welcome these players to the Bridge? Who else should Chelsea sign to bolster the left-wing ranks? Let us know in the comments below!!!
