# Chelsea’s ambitious transfer plans include potential swoop for world-class star (not Sanchez)

**Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern simply can’t wait for a summer transfer window in which their club should be able to boast reigning champions status.**

Indeed, the Blues are well on course to claim a fifth Premier League title barring a horrendous end to the campaign, with Antonio Conte’s boys currently ten points clear at the top of the table.

But the Italian gaffer isn’t looking to rest on his laurels; according to [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/28/chelsea-arsenal-alexis-sanchez-no1-summer-transfer-target), Chelsea have some incredibly ambitious transfer targets lined up for the summer, not least including Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.

Conte is also [reportedly](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/28/chelsea-arsenal-alexis-sanchez-no1-summer-transfer-target) keen to bring in a left-sided defender and is already eyeing two players perfect for the left wing-back role in his 3-4-2-1 set-up – Juventus man Alex Sandro and Bayern Munich’s David Alaba.

Sandro has consistently impressed for Conte’s former club Juventus, notching up two goals and four assists this season whilst playing in a variety of roles down the left flank, whilst Bayern Munich’s David Alaba is widely rated as a truly world-class player.

The Tavern’s Blues punters reckon signing Sanchez and one of the aforementioned left-sided options would take Chelsea to a whole new level – and could even make them the first successful defenders of the Premier League title since Manchester United in 2009.
