There were all sorts of changes in personnel at Chelsea in the January transfer window.Gonzalo Higuain and Christian Pulisic signed for the Blues, and they said goodbye to Cesc Fabregas while Alvaro Morata joined Atletico Madrid on loan.
6Goalkeeper
Although there is a lot of speculation at Chelsea right now, Kepa Arrizabalaga’s spot as the club’s No.1 is safe for seasons to come.The Spaniard was bought for 71.6million last summer, a record fee for a goalkeeper and has been pretty good in his first season.
6Defence
Chelsea have first refusal for any deal on Ake, 23, and it wasclaimed recently that Bournemouth’s signing of Chris Mepham could see the Dutchman rejoin the Blues in the future.An Ake return would increase the competition for the two centre-back positions greatly, having to battle the likes of David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen for a starting spot.In this case, we’ve decided to place Ake alongside Luiz as the Brazilian is set pen a new one-year contract extension with the club. But we must stress Rudiger and Christensen are more than capable of playing there too.
6Midfield
The west Londoners missed out on Leandro Paredes, who joined Paris Saint-Germainlast month, but rumours are emerging about Ivan Rakitic being a target for the Blues.With Barcelona adding the likes of Arthur and Frenkie de Jong to their ranks, the 30-year-old seems set for switch away from the Camp Nou in the summer.If he did move to Chelsea, he would slot into their midfield quite nicely alongside Jorginho and N’Golo Kante, offering the ability to play-make and defend dutifully, while also providing more competition for the likes of Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
6Attack
Chelsea’s potential front line looks almost unrecognisable from this season though.Higuain finally signed on loan until the end of the campaign and given Sarri doesn’t rate Morata or Olivier Giroud, the Argentinian should join the Blues permanently in the summer.Pulisic will be available for selection next season as he was loaned back to Borussia Dortmund for the remainder of this term and could be thrown straight into the starting XI.

The summer transfer speculation has already begun. And one of the names that is sure to be doing the round between now and August is Mauro Icardi. The Argentinian striker will be one of the most sought-after frontmen in Europe and a move away from Inter Milan could feasibly be on the cards too. It has been an interesting week for the 25-year-old.
