The Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern have enjoyed quite the signing spree in recent years…
Under the ownership of Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have gone from a Premier League force to a world-renowned European powerhouse.
In the decade plus since the Russian’s arrival, Chelsea have consistently won trophies and stood atop the British pile of clubs – forcing their way to the top of the European standings.
Some of Europe’s best players have been brought through the doors of Stamford Bridge – but who takes the cake as the best of Chelsea’s latest crop of signings?
There is a lot to choose from, but our landlord has managed to nail it down to just THREE!
With that said, these 3 are undoubtedly the best Chelsea signings from the past 5 years – Agreed?
Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard’s transfer to Chelsea came off of the back of Chelsea’s victory in the 2012 Champions League final, and since that point the young Belgian has never looked back.
His performances lead the Blues to the title during the 2014/15 season, and whilst last year was a dissapointing campaign for the Belgian – this season he looks back to his best.
The perfect winger, offering pace, defensive play and an offensive threat; he really is the complete article.
When Chelsea do inevitably offload him to Spain; they’ll be looking at close to £100m for the priveledge.
One of the best signings in recent memory according to our Landlord.
Gary Cahill
Gary Cahill is an often underrated member of the Chelsea squad, but the Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern absoloutely love him.
He became the fastest player in the Premier League to win every title available to him, and that is a testament to how crucial he has been since joining the Blues in 2012.
He masterminded the Chelsea defence en route to the 2012 Champions League, and has maintained a consisnt role in the Chelsea first team ever since.
Some people here in the Tavern give him stick for being overrated; but our landlord thinks hes the exact opposite.
Gary Cahill is a stalwart in defence; and one of the most underrated players in the Premier League.
What a signing.
Cesar Azpilicueta
Cesar Azpilicueta can play anywhere across the Chelsea defence and look like a superstar. He really is that good.
He is a fantasy football favourite here in the Football Transfer Tavern as a result of his consistent performances – and that looks set to continue this season.
He has made the switch to the left hand side of the Chelsea defence and fitted in seamlessly.
Even out of his natural position, he is still one of the best players on the pitch.
What a bargain, what a player – what a signing!
