Chelsea fans here in the Tavern are still yet to get over the disappointment of their European exit, as they now look to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
The Blues face an uphill task to secure Champions League football from here on in as they currently sit in fifth position, with all the teams above them constantly churning out positive results. Indeed, Antonio Conte’s future looks less than certain with Chelsea heading for the Europa League, something that could see the Italian relieved of his duties in the summer.
Therefore, the Blues are going to need to bring in some quality additions in the summer transfer window, with their current squad struggling to challenge against some of the world’s best. So, Roman Abramovich should turn his attention to players who currently ply their trade at teams towards the bottom of the table, with a couple of stars possibly looking for an exit in the summer.
Therefore, here’s a look at TWO relegation battlers that Chelsea should look to sign this summer…
Marko Arnautovic
Marko Arnautovic has been one of the standout performers for West Ham United so far this season, as the club’s joint-top scorer with seven goals and five assists to his name thus far.
Indeed, the Austrian can bring Chelsea power and pace in wide areas to support Eden Hazard and Willian in the final third, as the Blues have struggled to get the best out of Pedro so far this season.
Therefore, the Pensioners should look to raid their London rivals West Ham United in the summer, after already submitting their interest in the attacker during the January transfer window.
Wilfried Zaha
Wilfried Zaha has established himself as one of the most exciting players in the Premier League so far this season, after already saving current club Crystal Palace from an early-season relegation scare.
Indeed, the Englishman managed to play 45 minutes in their last outing against Chelsea after returning from an injury that threatened to end his season, and came up with an assist in that encounter.
Therefore, the Blues should look to bring the winger to Stamford Bridge in the summer to bolster their attack, after already showing an interest in the 25-year-old earlier on in the season.
