Chelsea continue to motor along in the Premier League this season and despite looking out of the race for the title already, are still a force to be reckoned with, capable of beating anyone on their day.
Manager Antonio Conte will be keen to win some trophies at the Bridge before he eventually decides to leave, and to do so, it might be that he needs to go out into the transfer market and add some real quality in certain areas of the field.
Our landlord here at the Tavern thinks the Blues are still a big draw in England though, and he thinks that this January represents the ideal time for Conte and Chelsea to go out and reaffirm their status as one of the top club’s in Europe, by snatching one of their rivals’ star players from them.
That player? Arsenal and German star Mesut Ozil.
The midfielder burst back into life this week with a goal and two assists as Arsenal romped home against Huddersfield, and the German international is once again showing why he is one of the best attacking midfielders in world football on his day.
However, the Gunners are rightfully worried that Ozil could be on his way come January, with his ever protracted contract situation in the balance, and plenty of clubs circling. If Chelsea really want to make a splash in January, then signing someone like Ozil could be the ideal sort of signing.
