RW : James Rodriguez, Real Madrid

James Rodriguez has been a peripheral figure for the Los Blancos and he is sick of sitting on the bench. This was evident when he recently told Spanish media that he couldn’t promise that he would stay at Madrid.

The rumors have died down after his father stated that his son was going to stay until the end of the season. However, this is a world where Chelsea re-signed David Luiz in the last minutes of the recent transfer window, which nobody predicted. So anything is possible should Chelsea decide to match his £60m price tag.

If they do match it, he would be an upgrade on the right wing and would provide assists and goals for Chelsea. He would also add long shots to the Chelsea attacking repertoire.
