Chelsea supporters in the Transfer Tavern are delighted at the club’s record of two Premier League titles in the space of three seasons.
The Blues’ past three seasons have been chaotic at times, yet it has represented a period of success. Having secured Chelsea’s fifth Premier League title last season, Antonio Conte will be expected to mount a challenge for European glory in addition to retaining the league trophy.

Rather famously, the Blues have won the Champions League once in their history, the indelible night in Munich on the 19th of May 2012 – it is widely anticipated that the Blues will be battling hard to win their second CL trophy this forthcoming season.
To realise this ambition, Chelsea will have to exercise their vast financial power. Alex Sandro is one name who has been heavily linked with the west London giants this summer by the likes of the Evening Standard and our landlord has opted to look at two other signings that could potentially see Chelsea crowned Champions of Europe.
Alex Sandro
Since his arrival in Turin in 2015, Alex Sandro has established himself as one of the world’s greatest full-backs. Renowned for both his attacking and defensive qualities, Sandro is regarded as the complete left-back, with his ability to be influential at either end of the pitch. His dribbling and crossing skills are key components of his game, and the Brazilian is regarded as one of the very best in his position.
Despite how well Marcos Alonso performed in his first season with Chelsea, Sandro’s acquisition would undeniably improve the standard of Conte’s starting eleven. The 26-year-old was an essential figure in Juventus’ European campaign, as they reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. His signing would significantly enhance Chelsea’s chances of European glory.
Marco Verratti
Another player that would notably improve the Blues’ chances in the Champions League would be Marco Verratti – one of the most talented and well-rounded midfielders in world Football. The experienced Italian has already amassed 269 club appearances despite being only 24 and has asserted his status as one of Europe’s leading talents.
Widely recognised for his excellent passing ability, the acquisition of Marco Verratti would significantly strengthen the quality of Conte’s side. The perfect midfielder to accompany N’Golo Kante, his passing range is truly astonishing and would better the service that Chelsea’s attackers would receive.
James Rodriguez
While recognising the importance of Pedro in Chelsea’s successful quest for Premier League glory, the possibility of signing Rodriguez should be too good to refuse for Antonio Conte. The 25-year-old has already scored an astounding total of 96 goals in 334 club appearances – 36 of which have been scored for Real Madrid.
The Colombian international has lost his status as a starting player for Los Blancos, and his potential availability should be of great interest to numerous prestigious European teams. Renowned for his creative talents, Rodriguez is one of the most accomplished attacking players in Europe. He can score, he can assist, he can create goals single-handedly, his arrival would be a statement of sincere intent by Chelsea.
