Chelsea fans in the bar here at the Football Transfer Tavern have be a rarity over the past nine months, however with a new boss at the helm the Blues are starting to emerge as confident as ever and are looking ahead to a season that can surely be no worse than the last.

Conte showed plenty of passion at the European Championships this summer and Blues fans will be hoping he can transfer that style to Stamford Bridge next season as the squad look to forget the perils of last season.

In order to rediscover the form that Jose Mourinho’s side showed to take the title two seasons ago, the Italian manager will have to draw some quite spectacular performances out of his entire squad.

With that in mind, our Chelsea regulars who have been in for their weekly pool competition have handed the Landlord a list of the THREE players they reckon will take the Premier League by surprise next season…

Kenedy

The 20-year-old broke into the Chelsea side last season after making the move from Fluminense in June of last year and showed plenty of promise when given his chance.

The winger has 7 appearances for the Brazilian national team under his belt and therefore is no stranger to playing at the highest level and the pressures that come with it.

Given a run in the side by the new boss, Antonio Conte, Kenedy could really go on to have a stellar career at Stamford Bridge.

Juan Cuadrado

The former Fiorentina man has spent the last season on loan at Juventus and impressed for the Serie A champions, making 28 league appearances and scoring on four occasions.

Given a second chance in London the Colombian international could provide Antonio Conte with a superb asset as he looks to take the Blues back to the top.

Pedro

The Spanish international made the move to Stamford Bridge last summer for a fee of £19m and was tipped to go on and have a season similar to that of Eden Hazard’s the year before, that didn’t quite happen.

However, with a solidified midfield behind him, with the addition of Kante on Saturday, the former Barcelona man can now play with significantly more freedom that last season, and could pose a real threat to Premier League defences.

Chelsea fans, we want to hear from you! What do you made of this list? Who else would you tip to go on and turn a few heads next season? Let us know below…
